However, a very poetic legend lies at the basis of their stage that we can appreciate. In this it is told, and all the Chinese believe it doubtlessly, how, once upon a time, the Emperor Tong-Ming- Wang, of the Tong dynasty, was translated to the moon, together with his wives, concubines. Digitized by Google SHANGHAI. 191 and all the retinue of his court, and that, while there, they saw hosts of fair maidens in tableaux; and it is to this wonderful legend of the voyage to the moon, with its visi...on of celestial drama enacted by Phoebe and her attendant virgins, that China owes the establishment of its theatre, and the performance of what are called ancient his- torical plays. Every town of the empire has its theatre, and it is a well-known fact that, wherever the Chinese congregate in considerable numbers in any foreign land, they are sure to build a purely national theatre. It is so in San Francisco, Singapore, Rangoon, Honolulu, Portland, and many other places which have large colonies of Chinese.
