13 That there was some migration westward also of Chinese into the conquered countries of Islam, where they would come within the sphere of its religious influence, we learn from the diary of a Chinese monk who travelled through Central Asia to Persia in the years 1221–4; speaking of Samarqand, he says, “Chinese workmen are living everywhere.” (Bretschneider (1), vol. i. p. 78.) ↑
