NAN-TCHANG-FOU

Volume 12 · 71 words · 1797 Edition

NAN-TCHANG-FOU, the capital of Kiang-si, a province of China. This city has no trade but that of porcelain, which is made in the neighbourhood of Jao-tcheou. It is the residence of a viceroy, and comprehends in its district eight cities; seven of which are of the third class, and only one of the second. So much of the country is cultivated, that the pastures left are scarcely sufficient for the flocks.
