Note 278 — Chapter IX · K’ANG HSI BLUE AND WHITE
Reading edition
See Bushell, T’ao shuo, op. cit., p. 192. It is tolerably clear that d’Entrecolles in this passage is giving a verbatim rendering of a Chinese description. The “flowers” is, no doubt, hua, and might be rendered “decoration” in the general sense, and the “water and the mountains” is, no doubt, shan shui, the current phrase for “landscape.”
