DescriptionA GROUP OF PEASANTRY, WATERMEN, &c playing with Dice.jpg |
English: Drawing by William Alexander, draughtsman of the Macartney Embassy to China in 1793. A group of Chinese common people playing dice, including a husbandman with a hoe, and a boater with a metal gong to guide the trackers and warn the incoming canal boats in the foreground. Alexander noted that the Chinese were addicted to gaming, near everyone carried a pack of cards, or a set of dice. Cock-fighting, quail-fighting, and grillae-fighting (a large species of grasshopper) were also popular. Image taken from The Costume of China, illustrated in forty-eight coloured engravings, published in London in 1805. |
