When I walked through the village in the afternoon I entered the smithy near the Au-keang morung. Yan-mang from the Sha-yong-hu clan works there. The best smith of Wakching. He claims that his clan is the oldest in Wakching. They came from Ying-yu-tang, lived in Wak-nyu-cheang, and finally settled in Wakching. Yan-mang produced daos, spearheads, knives with buffalo horn handles and all sorts of small tools in his smithy which I sketched (notebook 2 p. 173-176). His goods even go to Chi and Totok. |
