QLD GRAPHIES. Whensoever the ancient Chinese noblemen had been favoured by their princes, or had experienced some kind of success or luck, they used to cast a bronze vase,

in memoriam. Symbols and Characters relating the fact, were moulded on the interior side of the vase, which was placed in the ancestral temple of the family, and served henceforth as a ritual vessel, when oblations and libations were of-

fered to the Manes. On the exterior side of the vase, the two eyes of the Ancestor, were figured, looking at his sons and grandsons with benevolence. We are indebted to these old bronze vases,

for all the old Graphies

we

possess. Ancient Chinese

epigraphy on stone, is non-existent. Many fac-similes of vases and inscriptions are to be found in the 4th French edition of this work, Caractéres Chinois, pages 361-452. In this English edition, the matter has been presented in a summary way.

Now take good notice of one thing, which uses to baffle novices in Chinese epigrapby. In all modern books, the engravers have replaced the old obsolete symbols which are not characters, by conventional current characters chosen because of their form, without reference to their meaning. To translate those signs, would cause laughable blunders. For instance, instead of the symbol Q offering of meat, they engrave the modern character 4¢ father, because the old character offering. — In the place of { the poured ly father resembled the symbo! libation, they put a @,. — For the obsolete a a distaff-load of textile fibres presented to the Manes, they put a#@. And so ov. — Remember this, when following

is 3

a right hand

offering

& , which is

neither a flame, nor incense, but the smell of the offered meat, ascending towards the Ancestors.

Almost every time, beneath this symbol of offering meat, there is 1 a sort of tear, symbol of the poured down libation of wine. Instead of the falling wine, they sometimes figure @ the Splash of the wine having fallen on naked soil. This figure is rare, because it was ritual custom to pour the libation on grass, spread out or tied into a bundle, which was burned after the ceremony was over. There are many figures of this bundle of grass, sometimes graphically reduced to a IT, or -f, or anything else.

The @ cowries, current money of old China, are offered strung up, often in great quantities, as much as a man can carry with a pole. —In some texts, the

The offering of raw flesh is eventually figured by the living animal, and the flint kuife or the prehistoric axe indicative of the killing of it. When the animal is not figured, the mere knife in the hand of the son, denotes that he has killed an

animal to be offered.

The presence of the Ancestor to whom the offering is made, is ordinarily figured by }& the heel of his foot; see Lesson 112 A. In modern Chinese, to say in presen-

Sometimes the offering is presented to a footprint, or to foot-prints

of the deceased

Ancestor.

Now-a-days, as of old, the Chinese try to discern the

foot-prints of the departed, on planks strewn

over

with sand or ashes, See above four figures showing

the worship of foot-prints, In the first and second, there is one; ia the third, there are two of them. In the fourth, the Ancestor has walked ali around

the offering, sniffing its smell. In the fifth, the legs of the Ancestor are visible. The frame which

Sometimes the presence

with benevolence at the offerings. As has been said on page 361, the benevolent eyes of the Ancestor are figured on the outer side of all ancient sacrificial vessels, staring at the offerers. Sometimes the two eyes are replaced by one triangle,

symbolising sight in abstracto.

Some times, in a fit of rapture, the offering son is spiritually transported beyond

the balustrade and the pillars, into the sanctuary, unto the very presence of the Ancestor. See above,

on the /eft, the best figure Antiquity has bequeathed

to us.

It dates from the 2d

dynasty (circa 6.C. 1500), and shows a raptured son kneeling in presence of his standing father... Ip the two other figures, the raptured son

carries cowries or meat (knife).

In some very rare but most precious fignres, the deceased Ancestor is represented diving, head. foremost, from heavens above, towards the hand of his offering son.

Sometimes the Ancestor is figured
