NOTE 19.–['The idols of the Tao-sze, according to Marco Polo"s statement,
have female names; in fact, there are in the pantheon of Taoism a great
many female divinities, still enjoying popular veneration in China; such
are _Tow Mu_ (the "Ursa major," constellation), _Pi-hia-yuen Kiun_ (the
celestial queen), female divinities for lying-in women, for children, for
diseases of the eyes; and others, which are to be seen everywhere. The
Tao-sze have, besides these, a good number of male divinities, bearing the
title of _Kiun_ in common with female divinities; both these circumstances
might have led Marco Polo to make the above statement.' (_Palladius_, p.
30.)--H. C.]
