A New and Particular K elation of the
King when he pleafes to come. The A&ors and Actreffes
are very magnificently clad. The drels for the Womens
heads being a kind of Miter or Diadem, which exceedingly
becomes them, from the hinder part whereof two Ribonds,
three fingers broad, hang down below their wafts. Both
the one and the other h£t their parts very perfectly, and,
according to their manner, obferve an exadi time in their
Dancing.
At one of the corners of the Hall fit the tvVo Judges of
the Comedy, one of whom beats time upon a Brafs Drum.
Their othdr ordinary Paftimes, elpecially for the Lords and
Mandarins, are Fiftiitig and Hunting, though they take
more pleafure in the former , by reafon of the plenty of
Fifh which their Rivers afford them. But, as I laid before,
they follow thefe fports only upon the days that are permit
ted them,as being better husbands of their time then we, not
fparing any part of it from bufinefs. So that they who at the
beginning of that little knowledge which we had of thefe
f People,wrote that their Manners and Cuftoms were wild and
barbarous,w r ere mifinform’d. For as there is no reafon to doubt
of the truth of what I affirm,and what others have confirm'd
by other Relations, we may well conculde from what l have
faid, That all the Duties of Civil Society and Politenels are
not confin'd within our Europe± but that the Kingdom of T«?z-
quin, anciently a part of China, ftill retains the good Govern
ment and Civility of the Cbmefes themfelves.
CHAP. IX.
the Learned Men in the Kingdom
Tunquin.
C yErtain it is, that the Tunquinefes have a very great
inclination for Learning, and that they apply them-
^ felves to their Studies with diligence and luccefs:
for that they cannot be advanc'd without it to the Offices
and Dignities in the Kingdom. I do not here, by Learning,
mean the underftanding of the Languages of our Learned
Men
