CHINESE MARITIME MOTTOES.
John Henry Grey in his "China" tells
of the mottoes which decorate a Chinese
vessel.
On the masts of the seagoing -junks
are fastened strips of red paper inscrib
ed with Chinese characters. Some of
the mottoes follows:
"From every side of the compass may
fair winds blow."
"The mast is as a general command
ing 10,000 soldiers-"
There is always shrine on board, and
here the Chinese gods are appealed to."
On the poop a pavilion is built, and
over its doorway is a chance for more
mottoes.
"May this mast scorn tempests from
whatever quarter of the heavens they
may come."
"Wherever this ship may sail, giant
her a prospenous voyage." Enable us
by trading to acquire wealth."
"May the wind not cause angry wa
ters to rise." "May this vessel brave
the storms for a hundred years."
The very names of the junks would
bring good luck if superstition could
weave an actual fortune Good success,
Golden Profits, Never Ending Gains.
