Summary

Description	English: A book written by Phạm Quang Sán (范光璨) in the year Duy Tân 4 (維新四年) introducing children to new concepts about the world and how it works. Public domain text from the book discussing volcanoes in Classical Chinese: 地中有非常之熱度，與沸水同。土石被其張力衡破地殼，[送？]出於外遂成火山。火山之上有孔穴凹，下若碗名噴火口。其噴出之石質名流石。蓋地中之石漿熱汁噴出於外，沉溺於水底，漸次凝結而成石也。火山自古以來常噴火者，謂之活火山，自古噴火至今日而息者，謂之息火山，自古以來從未噴火者，謂之死火山。統全地球計之，火山約二百餘座。美洲西邊為最多。不惟陸地有之，即洋海亦往往有之。地中也有溫泉熱井，其原因于火山同。

Source	A Bilingual Introduction to Volcanoes in 1911 Vietnam. - NOVEMBER 6, 2016 / LEMINHKHAI. (Lê Minh Khải's SEAsian History Blog). This book had two main sections. One was devoted to the skys/heavens and the other to the earth. These are both topics that were covered in earlier books for children, such as in Phạm Phục Trai’s 范复齋 1853 Explication of the Essentials for Enlightening Children (啓童説約 Khải đồng thuyết ước). However, Phạm Quang Sán discussed these topics in ways that reflected his exposure to Western science.. (Lê Minh Khải's SEAsian History Blog). He began his section on the earth, for instance, by stating that “the earth is round like a ball and therefore it is called the globe (地球 / địa cầu literally means ‘earthen ball’)” (地圓如球故曰地球 Đất tròn như quả cầu, cho nên gọi là địa cầu). - One of the pieces of evidence that he provides for this is the fact that people can travel all the way around the earth (人能繞行地球 ta đi quanh hết quả đất dược).. (Lê Minh Khải's SEAsian History Blog). In his 1853 work, Phạm Phục Trai did not say that the earth was round, he did not call it an “earthen ball,” and he probably did not know that people could circumnavigate the globe, and he would not have known what the term “地球/địa cầu” referred to. - So although a statement like “the earth is round like a ball and therefore it is called the globe” might seem simple and insignificant, it actually is a sign of a major transformation in the Vietnamese worldview that was taking place at that time.. (Lê Minh Khải's SEAsian History Blog). And this book is filled with a great deal more information like this, including the final section which contains a detailed discussion about volcanoes. - “It is extremely hot in the middle of the earth, like boiling water. Because of its expansive force, stones are pushed through the earth’s crust and sent out (of the inside of the earth) where they form volcanoes. At the top of volcanoes are hollow openings, and below it looks like a bowl and is called the crater. The stone material that is ejected is called lava. It is probably that the hot stone liquid in the earth is ejected out and gradually forms into stone after it sinks into water.". (Lê Minh Khải's SEAsian History Blog). The children who studied this text in school starting in 1911 gained knowledge that their parents had never been exposed to when they were young. - The children in 1910s Vietnam were learning about a new world, a world that made sense not by learning what earlier generations of Vietnamese had studied, but by learning new forms of knowledge, such as the fact that the earth is round, that people can travel all the way around it, and that there are somewhere around 200 volcanoes on the globe. - Once children started learning about these things, traditional Vietnamese knowledge’s days were numbered.. (Lê Minh Khải's SEAsian History Blog).
