Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: These Chinese floating Cafe-chantants are called in Cantonese Fa t'ing a term most inappropriately translated by "Flower-boat", as it rather means "Gaudy Boat" or "Ornamental Boat"; just as Fa kai does not mean in Canton "a flowery street" but an "illuminated street", a gay street. In fact, the word fa has more meanings in Cantonese, than the original character would seem to imply. |
