Review, Jan., 1904, P. 147.) "The 'Ch'ang-Lu,' Or Long Reed
System, Derives Its Name From The City Ts'ang Chou, On The Grand Canal
(South Of T'ientsin), Once So Called.
In 1285 Kublai Khan 'once more
divided the Ho-kien (Chih-li) and Shan Tung interests,' which, as above
explained, are really one in working principle.
There is now a First Class
Commissary at Tientsin, with sixteen subordinates, and the Viceroy (who
until recent years resided at Pao ting fu) has nominal supervision."
(PARKER, China, 1901, pp. 223-4.)
"Il y a 10 groupes de salines, Tch'ang, situes dans les districts de Fou
ning hien, Lo t'ing hien, Loan tcheou, Fong joen hien, Pao tch'e hien,
T'ien tsin hien, Tsing hai hien, Ts'ang tcheou et Yen chan hien. Il y a
deux procedes employes pour la fabrication du sel: 1 deg. On etale sur un
sol uni des cendres d'herbes venues dans un terrain sale et on les arrose
d'eau de mer; le liquide qui s'en ecoule, d'une densite suffisante pour
faire flotter un ceuf de poule ou des graines de nenuphar, Che lien, est
chauffe pendant 24 heures avec de ces memes herbes employees comme
combustible, et le sel se depose. Les cendres des herbes servent a une
autre operation. 2 deg. L'eau de mer est simplement evaporee au soleil....
L'administrateur en chef de ce commerce est le Vice-roi meme de la
province de Tche-li." (P. HOANG, Sel, Varietes Sinologiques, No. 15, p.
3.)

SANGON - T'SIANG KIUN.
"Le titre chinois de tsiang kiun 'general' apparait toujours dans les
inscriptions de l'Orkhon sous la forme saenuen, et dans les manuscrits
turcs de Tourfan on trouve sangun; ces formes avaient prevalu en Asie
centrale et c'est a elles que repond le sangon de Marco Polo" (ed.
Yule-Cordier, II., 136, 138). PELLIOT, Kao tch'ang, J. As., Mai-Juin,
1912, p. 584 n.
LXI., p. 138.
LITAN.
"For Li T'an's rebellion and the siege of Ts'i-nan, see the Yuean Shih,
c. v, fol. 1, 2; c. ccvi, fol. 2x deg.; and c. cxviii, fol. 5r'o. From the
last passage it appears that Aibuga, the father of King George of Tenduc,
took some part in the siege. Prince Ha-pi-ch'i and Shih T'ien-tse, but not,
that I have seen, Agul or Mangutai, are mentioned in the Yuean Shih." (A.
C. MOULE, T'oung Pao, July, 1915, p. 417.)
LXII., p. 139.
SINJUMATU
This is Ts'i ning chau. "Sinjumatu was on a navigable stream, as Marco
Polo expressly states and as its name implies. It was not long after 1276,
as we learn from the Yuean Shih (lxiv), that Kublai carried out very
extensive improvements in the waterways of this very region, and there is
nothing improbable in the supposition that the ma-t'ou or landing-place
had moved up to the more important town, so that the name of Chi chou had
become in common speech Sinjumatu (Hsin-chou-ma-t'ou) by the time that
Marco Polo got to know the place." (A.C. MOULE, Marco Polo's Sinjumatu,
T'oung Pao, July, 1912, pp.
