NOTE 5

Filed under: travel and travelers — mark @ 3:44 pm

NOTE 5.–Some of these etiquettes were probably rather Chinese than
Mongol, for the regulations of the court of Kbli apparently combined the
two. In the visit of Shah Rukh”s ambassadors to the court of the Emperor
Ch”ng Tsu of the Ming Dynasty in 1421, we are told that by the side of
the throne, at an imperial banquet, ‘there stood two eunuchs, each having
a band of thick paper over his mouth, and extending to the tips of his
ears…. Every time that a dish, or a cup of _darassun_ (rice-wine) was
brought to the emperor, all the music sounded.’ (_N. et Ext._ XIV. 408,
409.) In one of the Persepolitan sculptures, there stands behind the King
an eunuch bearing a fan, and with his mouth covered; at least so says
Heeren. (_Asia_, I. 178.)
