[Footnote 362: [Chinese] _i yu ch´uang chin wu sê hua chê_. The expression _ch´uang chin_, which also occurs in the _Ko ku yao lun_, apparently carries the idea of gilding, though its literal meaning ("originate gold") is very vague. Bushell renders the phrase "pencilled with designs in gold," and Julien "rehaussée d'or."] [Footnote 363: Op. cit., Fig. 21.] [Footnote 364: See _Burlington Magazine_, August, 1909, p. 298.] [Footnote 365: Bk. v., fol. 3 verso.] [Footnote 366: _huang hei_, lit. "yellow black."] [Footnote 367: The village [Chinese] Hu-t´ien Shin and the pagoda are marked in the map of Ching-tê Chên (_T´ao lu_, bk. i., fol. 1) on the south of the river and opposite to the Imperial factories.] [Footnote 368: _China and Japan_, vol. ix., p. 303.] [Footnote 369: See _T´ao lu_, bk. ii., fol. 4 verso; and Julien op. cit., p. 42.] [Footnote 370: [Chinese]. See _T´ao lu_, bk. vii., fol. 10 verso.] [Footnote 371: [Chinese].] [Footnote 372: See p. 131.] [Footnote 373: See pp. 94, 128, etc.] [Footnote 374: [Chinese]. Bushell (_O.C.A._, p. 186) renders "wide shallow bowls."] [Footnote 375: [Chinese]. The handles may be either long stems or handles in the modern sense, but both these types are found on far more ancient wares, e.g. the tazza or high footed goblet in Chou pottery, and the small cups with round handles of the T'ang dynasty.] [Footnote 376: [Chinese], lit. "exhort dishes." Bushell renders "rounded dishes." They were probably flat-bottomed shallow bowls, used as saucers.] [Footnote 377: [Chinese] _t'ai p'an_, lit. "terraced dishes."] [Footnote 378: _Ko ku yao lun_, bk. vii., fol. 25 verso.] CHAPTER XIV KUANGTUNG [Chinese] WARES THOUGH the province of Kuangtung has long been celebrated for its pottery, only very meagre information is procurable on the history of its factories. A single reference in the _T´u shu_[379] carries us back to the T´ang dynasty (618-906), when we learn that earthenware cooking vessels were made in the potteries (_t´ao chia_) of Kuang Chou (i.e. Canton), which when glazed were better than iron vessels and more suitable for the decoction of drugs. "A vessel of the capacity of a bushel sold for ten cash: and they were things which were worth preserving."
