<JOURNEY TO CHINA>: (11) CHINESE MODESTY: The Chinese love modesty and outlaw without pity all those immodest dances introduced by the Tartars under the names of Kan-Kan, Ka-chu-cha et cetera, there is only one of them , a single one, the most voluptuous, the most lascivious of all, one which delivers the woman to the embraces of a young man, one which troubles and intoxicates the senses, this one a Chinese man rigorously forbids to his daughters and permits it... only to his wife!
