- contingencies 13y agoI am in China right now. I have actually translated that text from Chinese to English out of interest. IIRC it's incredibly vague, with a long string of generally disconnected locations with little identifiable information. Scholars have determined that it relates to Southeast Asia (a path south past Vietnam toward Indonesia) however the specific route is debated. IIRC the origin of the identification of the destinations described lie in a very poor interpretation published 100 years ago.
