Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Tall and stately argosies rich with gay ornamentations Just as the decorated war-canoe is emblematical of the islands of the South Seas, so the towering junks immediately suggest the flowery glories of old China. With square sails of matting and high, brightly-painted sterns they carry China's commerce over the eastern seas. Square-bowed, flat-bottomed, and standing high above the water-line, the Chinese junk has altered little with the years. |
