the Plain of Tenduc, with its numerous towns and villages, was the
extensive and well-cultivated plain which stretches from the Hwang-Ho,

In the absence of preciser indications, it is reasonable to suppose that
the Plain of Tenduc, with its numerous towns and villages, was the
extensive and well-cultivated plain which stretches from the Hwang-Ho,
past the city of Kuku-Khotan, or ‘Blue Town.’ This tract abounds in the
remains of cities attributed to the Mongol era. And it is not improbable
that the city of Tenduc was Kuku-Khotan itself, now called by the Chinese
Kwei-hwa Ch”eng, but which was known to them in the Middle Ages as
_Tsing-chau_, and to which we find the Kin Emperor of Northern China
sending an envoy in 1210 to demand tribute from Chinghiz. The city is still
an important mart and a centre of Lamaitic Buddhism, being the residence of
a _Khutukhtu_, or personage combining the characters of cardinal and
voluntarily re-incarnate saint, as well as the site of five great convents
and fifteen smaller ones. Gerbillon notes that Kuku Khotan had been a place
of great trade and population during the Mongol Dynasty.

‘The facts noticed by Sven Hedin have thus another meaning–the desert to
the east of the lakes, which he discovered, was formed, not by Lob-nor,
which is situated 1?southwards, but by the Koncheh-daria, in its
unremitted deflection to the west. The old bed Ilek, lake-shaped in
places, and having a belt of salt lagoons and swamps along its eastern
shores, represents remains of waters belonging, not to Lob-nor, but to the
shifting river which has abandoned this old bed.

which are in a state of indigence, and of such families some may consist
of six in the house, some of eight, some of ten, more or fewer in each as
it may hap, but the whole number being very great
You see he causes selection to be made of a number of families in the city
which are in a state of indigence, and of such families some may consist
of six in the house, some of eight, some of ten, more or fewer in each as
it may hap, but the whole number being very great. And each family he
causes annually to be supplied with wheat and other corn sufficient for
the whole year. And this he never fails to do every year. Moreover, all
those who choose to go to the daily dole at the Court receive a great loaf
apiece, hot from the baking, and nobody is denied; for so the Lord hath
ordered. And so some 30,000 people go for it every day from year”s end to
year”s end. Now this is a great goodness in the Emperor to take pity of
his poor people thus! And they benefit so much by it that they worship him
as he were God.

town and as a province or kingdom
[’There is some confusion with regard to the names of Kermn both as a
town and as a province or kingdom. We have the names Kermn, Kuwshr,
Bardshr. I should say the original name of the whole country was Kermn,
the ancient Karamania. A province of this was called Kreh-i-Ardeshr,
which, being contracted, became Kuwshr, and is spoken of as the province
in which Ardeshr Bbekn, the first Sassanian monarch, resided. A part of
Kreh-i-Ardeshr was called Bardshr, or Bard-i-Ardeshr, now occasionally
Bardsr, and the present city of Kermn was situated at its north-eastern
corner. This town, during the Middle Ages, was called Bardshr. On a coin
of Qara Arsln Beg, King of Kermn, of A.H. 462, Mr. Stanley Lane Poole
reads Yazdashr instead of Bardshr. Of Al Idrs?s Yazdashr I see no
mention in histories; Bardshr was the capital and the place where most of
the coins were struck. Yazdashr, if such a place existed, can only have
been a place of small importance. It is, perhaps, a clerical error for
Bardshr; without diacritical points, both words are written alike. Later,
the name of the city became Kermn, the name Bardshr reverting to the
district lying south-west of it, with its principal place Mashz. In a
similar manner Mashz was often, and is so now, called Bardshr. Another
old town sometimes confused with Bardshr was Srjn or Shrjn, once more
important than Bardshr; it is spoken of as the capital of Kermn, of
Bardshr, and of Sardsr. Its name now exists only as that of a district,
with principal place S”adbd. The history of Kermn, “Agd-ul-”Ol?
plainly says Bardshr is the capital of Kermn, and from the description
of Bardshr there is no doubt of its having been the present town Kermn.
It is strange that Marco Polo does not give the name of the city. In
Assemanni”s _Bibliotheca Orientalis_ Kuwshr and Bardashr are mentioned
as separate cities, the latter being probably the old Mashz, which as
early as A.H. 582 (A.D. 1186) is spoken of in the _History of Kermn_ as
an important town. The Nestorian bishop of the province Kermn, who stood
under the Metropolitan of Fars, resided at Hormz.’ (_Houtum-Schindler_,
l.c. pp. 491-492.)
