Description
An account of the resource
"Near to the afflux of the Tchang-ho with the Cha-ho, river of floodgates, or imperial canal, is a splendid octagonal pagoda : it consists of nine stories, adorned with projecting eves, and it tapers with a remarkably gradual and graceful convergence. From its basement to the edge of the waters, the grounds slope gently, and this pleasant area, being reserved for the recreation of the citizens of Lin-tsing-choo, generally presents a scene of mirth, although not always of morality.....Around the groups engaged with absorbing earnestness in games of chance, the more cautious, but not less interested, are seated, relieving their anxiety upon the pending bet, by the pleasures of the chibouque.....the sport of shuttlecock, certainly a healthy recreation, is pursued with a degree of enthusiasm which it is seldom known to excite in the western world. There it is strictly limited to the youth of both sexes, and in some resigned to the gender exclusively ; but, in China, the most muscular men amongst the labouring classes seem to feel inexpressible delight in the sensation it produces. No battle-doors are employed, nor are the hands generally of any service in the game, save to balance the players body during its rapid movements : the shuttlecock is struck with the soles of the feet, sometimes unprotected by any covering ; at others, however, wooden shoes are permitted, and the noise which these cumbersome accompaniments contribute, is considered an accession to the mirth. Five, frequently six persons, form themselves into a circle, for the propose of playing at this active game ; and whether shoes be permitted, or hands occasionally allowed, to aid the feet in preventing a shuttlecock from coming to the ground, the least successful players fall out of the ring in turn, until the number is gradually reduced to one ; this one is, of course, declared to be the winner of the stakes, or the pool, or the object played for, whatever it may happen to have been." (Allom, 1842, v. III, p. 32-33).

Boudoir and Bed-chamber of a Lady of rank.
Description
An account of the resource
"Less crowded with articles of furniture than the apartments of ladies of quality in England, the decorations of a bedchamber and boudoir in China are not less costly or complete - a suite of rooms being appropriated to the females of the mandarin's family, to which the husband, children, and female relations and attendants are alone admissible; these are uniformly fashioned, and filled and furnished in a style of beauty and convenience that displays both taste and liberality." (Allom, 1842, v. II, p. 30).
