3066. About the Chinese

One choir came to me in the morning, from where I could not readily recognize, because I was not yet inspired to understand so well the choir's speech and symbolic displays. But they were from the Asiatic regions and from where the Chinese are, as I can discern from the fact that they displayed before me a certain species of animal, in fact a woolly goat, then also a cake made from their grains, then a kind of spoon made of ebony-but that they were thence also from the fact that they understood how their floating cities are fashioned, as at Beijing and elsewhere, in that locality.
