Talk:Celestial (Chinese)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In early Sexton Blake Library stories (from 1915), and also a few other boy's adventure stories i have dating from 1935, this term is also used. These stories are from Great Britain and it seems to be applied to chinese people dressed in 'traditional' costume only, such as the large pointy straw hat and loose-fitting dark blue clothes. The main villain of SBL issue 1 (who is Chinese) uses the term himself on occasion. 86.138.26.56 21:39, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
