The supposed position of the dragon and tiger all enter into the discussion of feng-shui and conse- quently the religion of the people. In the year 1893 it was my duty to take over a new site which had been given us in exchange for one we had relinquish- ed. The deputy sent by 1a Hung-chang for this purpose took me round the old buildings and pointed out a small tree with an incense pot at its roots and several sticks of incense burning. The deputy informed me that this tree managed the feng-sh...ui of this plot, and that there would surely be trouble if we attempted to move that small tree. I replied that it would be necessary to remove that tree as it stood about the middle of where we expected 26 RELIGION IN TIENTSIN to build a chapel. Ah ! he said " you foreigners have great nerve ; no Chinaman would dare to move it." Needle.ss to say we did remove the tree and so far as I know no harm befell the workmen, though five years later the place fell a prey to the Boxer rage. Everything must be decided according to /e7ig- s/iui, though in Tientsin fe^ig-shui has had a terrible shock.
