CHAPTER XL

_TOMBS AND REMAINS._

Evidences still remaining in the shape of the tombs of great

historical personages--Elephants used to work at the Wu tombs--

Royal Ts'u tomb desecrated--Relics of 1122 B.C. found in Lu--Ts'in

destitute of relics--Confucius and the Duke of Chou's relics--Each

generation of Chinese sees and doubts not of its own antiquities--

No reason for European scepticism--Native critics know much more

than we do.
