 chih ^ originally a personal pronoun: he, him, it, etc.; 
 mar£ the genitive case, which is otherwise ex- 
 pressed by anteposition ; after a verb or a verbal 
 expression it may impart to the verb the force of 
 a passive participle; corresponds to ti (^if) of 
 the colloquial language. The relation of gram- 
 matical dependence which in Western languages 
 is often expressed by placing the noun upon 
 which something else depends in the genitive case 
 is in Chinese expressed by anteposition. This 
 " something else " depending upon a noim may 
 be another noun, or a verb, or even a complete 
 sentence; e.g., i§.' |g" ^^ ^*,—\-hien-Hu, the 
 Superintendents, ok 'ko-'kuan, all the Custom 
 Houses; ;j^' -g- f^' ^^—^yu-^yinjlhe balance, 
 Of 'ls^iin--liv, keeping; i.e., the bidance which is 
 or has been kept. This shows how in Chinese the 
 genitive of a verb or of a complete sentence may 
 come to have the force of a relative clause. In 
 either case the force of anteposition may be 
 increased by adding the characttr ;> (i-hth): e.g., 
 # ^ i !^ § /ro-fatrai chih rhUn-tx. "the 
 Superintendents of Customs," ^'y^^i. H^ ^, 
 Is'un-liu chih yii-yin, " the baLmce which is 
 kept." Such relative clauses, whether formed by 
 anteposition merely, or by anteposition with ^ 
 (chih), may be further enforced by adding the re- 
 lative pronoun proper, f^ (so); e.g.,^:^±^M 
 so ts'un chih yu-yin, " the balance which is kept." 
 If this relative clause has its own logical sub- 
 ject, the word denoting it stands before .so; e.g., 
 m ^u= W #' i.' W m',-yii-'yin, the 
 bidance, ^so ^chih (in connexion with anteposi- 
 tion), which, 'yin-'hao, the Bank, ^ts'un, keeps or

 " easy," " capable," or " sufficient," such as nan

 hinder;" nan i ch'cng-kimg (|| ^ ^ Jfj), 
 
 "difficult to bring about." In all these cases 
 
 yU (J5^) may take the place of i (J^). We may 
 
 add here phrases like § ^ f§ ^ ^i " since

 as in most other cases, the real force of the 
 
 Chinese will scarcely admit of comparison with 
 
 • any foreign grammatical term. 
 
 9. jy S and; or. 
 10. In order to ; " and hereby." In this sense it often

 «•?•. S: B ^ Jy JE ^ ^' "gi^e importance 
 to agriculture and the mulberry, ajul so provide 
 enough food and raiment" (Bridgman); or "in 
 order to provide enough food and raiment." A 
 similar phrase is often added to longer periodis 
 as a mere stylistic ornament, to round off the 
 sentence as it were ; it is therefore often suppressed 
 in the English version, though some means will 
 usually be found to express its sense without 
 placing the natural run of the English version 
 under any constraint, as has been well shown in 
 Sir Thomas Wade's translations. The following

 ( S8 ) 
 
 S p^ <^ ^ characters to be avoided in cone- 
 spondenco; forbidden charactei's, because they 
 occur in the personal name or shcng-fmi (^ ffl) 
 of one of the Emperoi-s of the present dynasty, 
 and are therefore avoided in official correspondence. 
 According to Chinese ideas, it would show want 
 of respect towards the sacred person of an Em- 
 peror if a character occurring in his personal name 
 were used in its profane meaning, and it has 
 become customary either to substitute another 
 character of the same meaning or to slightly alter 
 the shape of the character prohibited, unless special 
 orders to the contrai'y are on record. 
 
 According to an Imperial Edict of 1846, the 
 first character in an Emperor's personal name is 
 to remain unaltered, and merely the second char- 
 acter is to be slightly altered (sec " Translation of 
 the Peking Gazette for 1S75," p. 9). Authorities 
 seem to disagree on some of the details regarding 
 this question. 
 
 The following characters are considered to be 
 forbidden : —
