! ioolng, as 1t IS called in Chinese, is closely
associated with that of reviling, and the
| Chinese women are such adopts in both
as to Justify the aphorism that what they
have lost in their feet they have gained
in their tongues.
''Aluch of this abusive language Is
regarded as sort of spell or curse. A
man who has had the heads removed
from his field of millet stands at the
entrance of the alley which leads to his
dwelling and pours forth volleys of
abuse upon the unknown offender. This
has a double value-iirst, as a means of
notifying the public of his loss and his
consequent fury, thus freeing his mind
and, secondly, as prcphylactic tending
to secure him against the reputation Of
the otfense. Women indulge in this
pra tice of 'reyiling the secret from the
fiat roofs of the houses, and shrek away
for hours at time until their voices fail.
Abuse delivered in this way attracts
little or no attention. and one sometimes
comes on a man or woman thus screech-
ing themselves red in the face with not
an auditor in sight. If the day is a hot
one the reviler bawls as long as he tor
she has breath, then proceeds to refresh
himself with season of tanning, and |
afterwards returns 10 the attack with /
renewed fury. A fight in which only /
two parties are concerned usually re- I
solves itself into mere hair-pulling; the
combatants when separated by their
friends shout back to each other male
dictions and defiance. The quarrel be-
tween Laban and Jacob, recorded in the
thirty ninth chapter of Genesis, when
the latter stole away from Laban's house,
is 'phOtographically accurate account
