TCIION-KING, a city of China, of the first rank, in Se- 
cheun. This is one of the most commercial cities of the pro¬ 
vince. It is indebted for its trade to its situation at the con¬ 
fluence of two remarkable rivers; one of which, called Kin- 
cha-kiang, or Golden-sand, receives in its course all the 
streams from the mountains which rise on the neighbouring 
confines of Tartary. The other is Ta-kiang, which has its 
source beyond the boundaries of China, and is commonly 
called Yang-tse-kiang. Tehong-king is built upon a moun¬ 
tain, and rises in the form of an amphitheatre. The air round 
it is wholesome and temperate. The city is celebrated for 
its fish, and a particular kind of trunks, made with canes, in¬ 
terwoven in the manner of basket-work. It has in its district 
three cities of the second class, and eleven of the third; 750 
miles south-west of Peking. Lat. 29. 42. N. long. 106.

TCHOUKTCHES, a people inhabiting the peninsula 
which forms the north-eastern extremity of Asiatic Russia; 
bounded on one side by the Frozen ocean, and on the other 
by the gulf of Anadir. Their country, barren and rocky, 
leaves them no mode of subsistence except fishing and hunt¬ 
ing. They are of the same race with the Koriaks, but still 
ruder in their general habits of life. Their dwelling is often 
in the hollow of rocks, and their cottages are partly con¬ 
structed of the bones of whales. Their entire number is not 
supposed to exceed 4000. Their tents are square, and com¬ 
posed of four rods supporting rein-deer skins, which form the 
roof. Their bed consists of branches of trees, covered with 
the skins of wild beasts. Their furniture and mode of feed¬ 
ing are dirty and disgusting. The dress of the women con¬ 
sists solely in the skin of a wdld beast, fastened to the neck. 
The people are skilful in the use of the sling, and shew much 
courage and address in the whale fishery. Though nominally 
included in the Russian empire, they live almost entirely in¬ 
dependent, protected by their extensive deserts, which would 
not reward the trouble necessary for their occupation. 
Though of the same race with the Koriaks, they carry on 
often bloody contests with that people.

The attempts to double it have been frequent; but the object 
seems to have been effected only once, in 1648, by a Cossac 
named Leman Deschnef. Doubts have even been raised as 
to the reality of his achievement; but the concurrence of his 
description of the coast and people with those of Cook and 
other recent navigators, seem to leave nq. reasonable ground 
of scepticism.

been formerly the residence of a long series of kings, whose 
tombs, rising on the neighbouring mountains, afford a beau¬ 
tiful prospect. Tci-nan has under its jurisdiction four cities
