“Peasants are people without sense or forethought. Therefore they must not give rice
to their wives and children at harvest time, but must save food for the future. They
should eat millet, vegetables, and other coarse food instead of rice. Even the fallen
leaves of plants should be saved. The husband must work in the fields, the wife must
work at the loom. However good-looking a wife may be, if she neglects her
household duties by drinking tea or sightseeing or rambling on the hillsides, she must
be divorced. Peasants must wear only cotton or hemp. They may not smoke
tobacco. It is harmful to health, it takes up time and costs money.”
A History of World Societies, J.P. McKay, B.D. Hill, and J. Buckler, eds., 1996

and sea with all sorts of precious things. Consequently, there is nothing we lack, as
your principle envoy and others have themselves observed. We have never set
much store on strange or ingenious objects, nor do we need any more of your
country’s manufactures.”
