Summary
edit| Description |
English: * "The Taotai--highest civil official of Changteh District--presents a 'pien' to the Changteh Hospital. A 'pien' is a signboard with the name of the donor written on one end and the name of the donee on the opposite end. Between these are four characters that are supposed to set forth, in flowery language, the virtues of the doctor. In this instance, a red satin scroll written in goldleaf, a duplicate of the 'pien,' was also given to the doctor who attended the family. This scroll is supposed to be carried about by the doctor and hung up on proper occasions. In addition to these presents the Taotai gave a cash gift to the Hospital amounting to about $75.00 United States money, two hundred eggs, several hams, chickens, cakes and other dainties. A Chinese band and attendants carrying flags and red umbrellas accompanied the presents as they were brought through the streets. NOTE. Changteh is the station in Hunan, China occupied by the missionaries of the Cumberland Church, and now one of the regular stations of the Board."--caption accompanying the publication of the above photograph in the February 1908 issue (vol. XIV no. 2) of The Assembly Herald ("The official publication of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A."). |

Licensing
editThis image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  |
