* Hoqua, perhaps the most famous hong (guild) master in [[Merchant City|Canton]] had that reputation amid hard nosed Ammerican and British clipper barons. Several dynasties have a portrait of him in their collection and one clipper was named after him.

For instance a poetic word for King was "ring-giver".
