Rooster divider
Reading a scroll
Prince Chin Pa tried in vain to hold his followers
Rough Sea Divider
When Ah Tcha had eaten his Evening Rice, he took lantern and entered the largest of his mills
Of course, they wore hideous false faces
Old Chinese Man Divider
Man working at the table
Then he seized the plaques and flung them from him
Meng Hu could imagine a knife at his throat
We are the Shen, demons of the sea
Tiao Fu snatched up her little-used embroidery scissors. Snip, Snip, Snip
So the seventh demon sped away taking the sea with him
Three Old Men
So Chai Mi sat beside the river and sewed and wept
Therefore—upon his donkey—the contrary husband started for Tsun Pu
More and more sad came the music
This nice large one is for your dinner a
The first portrait he painted was that of Ying Ning, a monstrous ugly maiden
The house of Weng Fu was luxurious in the extreme
The king and his generals gazed across the river
This nice large one is for your dinner
Three children and the old man
The king crawled under his throne
The royal generals . . . knelt before Hai Low and bumped their heads in the dust
It was the howl of a wolf
Divider
Kneeling before a tree
It was a well-plucked traveler who returned

'I—I—I—am hungry,' stammered Han Hsin
Torturing the Fingers
This is effected by placing small pieces of wood betwixt them, and then drawing them very forcibly together with cords. It is frequently inflicted as a punishment upon disorderly women . There are no people existing, who pay so sacred an attention to the laws of decency as the Chinese ; habituated in preserving the constant appearance of modesty and self -controul, nothing is more uncommon amongst them, than deleterious examples of unblushing vice ; and if there be truth in the old maxim , that want of decency, either in action , or in word, betrays a deficiency of understanding, they certainly indicate more sense than some other nations , who affect to excel them in education and refinement. The general manners of people of every condition in China wear as modest a habit, as their persons. They discover no gratification in wresting their proper language into impure meanings; and grossly offensive phrases are only to be heard amongst the very dregs of the community, and at the risk of immediate and severe judicial correction .
'Broooomp'
House under a tree
Han Hsin raised a bridge from island to mainland
By look and action he was a maiden
He was a weighty elephant—amid the cabbages
Doctor Chu Ping beamed upon him
Lady standing in Chinese style picture
Chinese man rowing divider
He kept his forehead tight-pressed to the floor
At that same hour a basket was found in the garden
In a Chinese store
Chinese style picture
A whanging of wings that lifted . . . Up . . . Higher . . . Swifter
Young Chinese Divider
. . . And cut leaf-shaped pieces
