To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— Doubts have been expressed as to whether the rush from which the excellent mats of Szechwan are made yield the lamp-wicks largely exported from the province ,- but I may state here once for all that the same plant is the source of both. These doubts may have arisen from the fact that mats are made from rushes with and without pith ; but the latter are simply the stems from which the wicks have been extracted. The great centre of cultivation of this round rush (Juncus effusus) and of mat-weavi...ng is the Prefecture of Hsii-chou Fu, or Sui Fu ; but an examination of these mats shows that they ' are nearly all made of rushes containing the pith, which makes them thicker and harder if not so fine as those woven from the hollow rushes. As a matter of fact, there is comparatively little of the lamp-wick industry at Sui Fu. It is chiefly centred higher up the valley of the Min Eiver, at places like Mei Chou and Chia-ting. This rush, which is carefully cultivated, is a source of considerable profit to the farmer.
