○賓童龍國 　　其國隸與占城，山地接連。有雙谿澗，水澄清，佛書所云舍衛乞食，即其 地也。目連所居遺址尚存。人物、風土、草木、氣候，與占城大同小異。惟喪 禮之事，能持孝服，設佛事而度死者，擇僻地而葬之。婚姻遇合，情義不忘， 終乖人倫理。屍頭蠻者，比占城害之尤甚，民多置廟，牲血祭之求禳。酋長出 入，或象或馬，一如占城。王扮略同，從者前後有百餘人，執盾贊唱，曰亞曰 僕。地產棋楠香、象牙，貨用金銀、花布之屬。民下編茅覆屋而居，亦如占城 。異其食啖行止狀貌，可笑可嗟矣！　　詩曰：海嶠賓童國，雙溪水色清。目 連生育處，佛氏乞游城。地窄居民少，山多野獸鳴。氣融冰不識，日暖草叢生 。喪禮微知孝，婚姻略備情。屍蠻嚐糞穢，妖廟祭犧牲。部領鳴鴉導，蠻酋坐 象行。棋楠從土產，花布恁商營。搜緝遺風俗，公餘仔細評。

○靈山 　　其處峻嶺而方，石泉下帶。民居星散，結網為業。田土肥，耕種一年二收 。氣候之節，男女之規，與占城大同小異。　　地產黑紋相對藤杖，每條易斗 錫一塊，若粗大而紋疏者，一錦易杖三條。次得檳榔、荖葉，餘無異物所產。 其往來販舶，必於此汲水採薪，以濟日用。舶人齋沐三日，崇佛諷經，燃放水 燈彩船，以禳人船之災。　　詩曰：靈山方石嶺，其下有泉流。寥落民居少， 豐登穀米稠。放燈祈佛福，賽願便商舟。藤杖山中出，魚蝦海內求。梵經曾睹 此，今日一遨遊。

○崑崙山 　　其山節然瀛海之中，與占城及東、西竺鼎峙相望。山高而方，根盤曠遠， 海之名曰崑崙洋。凡往西洋商販，必待順風，七晝夜可過。俗云：「上怕七洲 ，下怕崑崙，針迷舵夫，人船莫存。」此山產無異物，人無居室，而食山果魚 蝦，穴居樹巢矣。　　詩曰：鼎峙東西竺，節然瀛海區。惟愁針舵失，但念穴 巢居。四季樹生果，三餐蝦與魚。遐陬無別產，吟詠亦堪書。

○交欄山（自占城、靈山起程，順風十晝夜可到） 　　其山高而叢林藤竹，舵桿桅檣篷箬，無所不備。胡元之時，命將高興、史 弼領兵萬眾，駕巨舶往闍婆國，遭風至於交欄山下，其船多損。隨登此山，造 船百號，復征闍婆得勝，擒其酋長，四國是此知之。至今民居有中國人雜處， 蓋此時有病卒百餘留養不歸，而傳生育也。氣候常暑，米穀稀少，民好射獵為 業。男女椎髻，穿短衫，繫巫侖布。地產豹、熊、鹿皮、玳瑁。貿易之貨用米 穀、五色絹、青布、銅器、青碗之屬。　　詩曰：岌業交欄島，叢林擁翠圍。 三春稀黍稷，四景有災威。當腦盤髽髻，披肩掛短衣。熊皮多美麗，玳瑁甚希 奇。使節仍臨蒞，遺氓亦願歸。遙觀瞻山海，得句樂心機。

○暹羅國（自占城起程，順風十晝夜可至） 　　其國山形如城，白石峭峻厲。地周千里，外山崎嶇，內嶺深邃。田平而沃 ，稼多豐熟，氣候常熱。風俗勁悍，專尚豪強，侵掠鄰境，削檳榔木為標，水 牛皮為牌，藥鍦等器，慣習水戰。男女椎髻，白布纏頭。穿長衫，腰束青花色 布手巾。其酋長及民下謀議，百物出入錢穀，煮海為鹽產。大小之事，悉決於 婦，其男一聽，可與牝雞之鳴。苟合無序，遇我中國男子愛之，必置酒致待而 敬之，歡歌留宿。婦人多為尼姑，道士皆能誦經持齋，服色略似中國之制，亦 造庵觀之所。已重喪禮之事，人死之時，必用水銀灌養其屍，而後擇高阜地， 設佛事，即葬之。釀蔗為酒，俗以海貝代錢，通行於市，每一萬個准中統鈔二 十四貫。地產羅斛香，焚極清遠，亞於沉香。次有蘇木、犀角、象牙、翠毛、 黃臘、大風子油。貨用青白磁器、花布、色絹、段匹、金銀、銅錢、燒珠、水 銀、雨傘之屬。　　詩曰：海外暹羅國，山形似壘城。三春花草盛，九夏稻禾 榮。竟日男安坐，移時婦決行。髻端羅布白，腰下束花青。失序人倫亂，無條 禮法輕。富尊酋長貴，豪俠庶民橫。香翠通商販，海貝如鈔行。蠻戎欽帝德， 金錶貢神京。

○爪哇國（自占城起程，順風二十晝夜可至其國） 　　古名闍婆，地廣人稠，實甲兵器械，乃為東洋諸番之衝要。舊傳鬼子魔天 ，正於此地，與一罔象青面紅身赤髮相合。凡生子百餘，常食啖人血肉。佛書 所云鬼國，其中只此地也。人被啖幾盡，忽一日雷震石裂，中坐一人，眾稱異 之，遂為國主，即領兵驅逐罔象，而不為害。後復生齒而安業，乃至今國之移 文，後書一千三百七十六年。考之肇啟漢初，傳至我宣德七年。　　港口以入 去馬頭曰新村。居民環接，編茭樟葉覆屋，鋪店連行為市，買賣聚集。其國富 饒，珍珠、金銀、鴉鶻、貓睛、青紅等石、車渠、瑪瑙、荳蔻、蓽茇、梔子花 、木香、青鹽，無所不有，蓋在通商之處也。其鸚鵡、鸚鷊、孔雀，能馴言語 歌曲。其倒掛鳥，身如雀大，披五色羽，日間焚香於其傍，夜則張羽翼而倒掛 ，張尾翅而放香。　　民俗好兇強，但生子一歲，則置刀於背，名曰不剌頭， 以金銀象牙雕刻為靶。凡男子自幼至老，貧富皆有，插於腰間。若有爭論，不 通罵詈，即拔刀刺之，強者為勝。設被殺之，藏躲三日而出去，即無事也。男 子猱頭裸身，惟腰圍單帶手巾。能飲酗酒，重財輕命。婦人亦然，惟項上金珠 聯紉帶之，兩耳塞茭樟葉圈於竅中。其喪事，凡其主翁之死，婢妾之眾而對誓 曰：「死則同往。」臨殯之日，妻妾奴婢皆滿頭帶草花，披五色手巾，隨屍至 海邊或野地，將屍於沙地，得眾犬食盡為好。如食不盡，則悲泣號歌。柴堆於 傍，眾婦坐其上，良久之際，縱火燒柴而死，則殉葬之禮也。　　蘇魯馬益， 亦一村地名也，為市聚貨商舶米糧港口。有洲聚猢猻數百，傳聞於唐時，其家 五百餘口，男婦兇惡，忽一日有僧至其家，乃言吉凶之事，其僧取水噀之，俱 化為獼猴，止留其老嫗不化。今存舊宅，本處及商者常設飲食、檳榔、花果、 肉類而祭之，不然，則禍福甚有驗也。此怪誕之事，本不可記，尤可為之戒矣 。　　杜板一村，亦地名也。海灘有水一泓，甘淡可飲，稱曰聖水。元時使將 史弼、高興因征其國，經月不下雨，舟中乏糧，軍士失措。史、高二將拜天祝 曰：「奉命伐蠻，如天與水即生，不與之則死。」祝之，插槍碱苦海灘，其泉 水隨槍湧出，水味甘甜，眾軍汲而飲之。乃令曰：「天賜助爾。」兵威大振， 喊聲奮殺，番兵百萬餘眾悉皆敗走。遂已登岸，隨殺隨入，生擒番人煮而食之 ，至今稱為中國能食人也。獲囚酋長歸國，服罪放歸，改封為爪哇國王也。欽 遵我朝皇上，遣正使太監鄭和等，節該齎捧詔敕賞賜國王、王妃，及其部領村 主民下，草木咸受天福。其國王臣既沐天恩，遣使絡繹不停，擎捧金筒金葉表 文，貢獻方物。　　詩曰：古是闍婆國，曾遭鬼母殃。震雷驚石裂，深穴見人 藏。歡忭皆知異，扶持眾立王。人民從教化，罔象被驅亡。婦女誇家富，男兒 縱酒強。鸚歌時刷翠，倒掛夜分香。婚娶吹椰殼，人隨御竹槍。田疇禾稼盛， 商賈貨財昌。洲上獼猴聚，溪邊祭祀忙。蠻夷遵聖詔，永世沐恩光。

○舊港（自爪哇國起程，順風八晝夜至） 古名三佛齊國。自港入去，田土甚肥，倍於他壤。古云：「一季種穀，三季生 金。」言其米穀盛而為金也，民故富饒。俗囂好淫。有操略，水戰甚慣。其處 水多地少，部領者皆在岸邊，居屋之用，匝民僕而宿，其餘民庶皆置木筏上， 蓋屋而居。若近溪船，以木樁拴閘，設其水漲，則筏浮起，不能湮沒也。或欲 別居，起樁去之，連屋移拔，不勞其力。此處之民，爪哇所轄，風俗與爪哇大 同小異。地產黃熟香、速香、沉香、黃蠟並鶴頂之類。貨用燒煉五色珠、青白 磁器、銅鼎、五色布絹、色段、大小磁器、銅錢之屬。永樂三年，我朝太宗文 皇帝命正使太監鄭和等，統領舟師往諸番國。海寇陳祖義等聚三佛齊國，抄掠 番商，亦來犯我舟師，被我正使深機密策，若張網獲獸而殄滅之，生擒厥魁， 獻俘闕下，由此海內振肅。　　詩曰：瀕海沙泥地，田禾熟倍金。男兒多狠暴 ，女子甚哇淫。地僻蠻夷逆，天差正使擒。俘囚獻闕下，四海悉欽遵。

○九洲山 　　其山與滿剌加國接境。產沉香、黃熟香，水木叢生，枝葉茂翠。永樂七年 ，正使太監鄭和等，差官兵入山採香，得莖有八九尺長者、八九尺大者六株， 香清味遠，黑花細紋，其實罕哉！番人張目吐舌，悉皆稱贊天兵之神，蛟龍走 ，兔虎奔也。　　詩曰：九洲山色秀，遠見鬱蒼蒼。四面皆環海，滿枝都是香 。樹高承雨露，歲久表禎祥。採伐勞天使，回朝獻帝王。

○龍涎嶼 　　此嶼南立海中，浮豔海面，波擊雲騰。每至春間，群龍所集於上，交戲而 遺涎沫，番人乃架獨木舟登此嶼，採取而歸。設遇風波，則人俱下海，一手附 舟傍，一手揖水而至岸也。其龍涎初若脂膠，黑黃色，頗有魚腥之氣，久則成 就大泥。或大魚腹中剖出，若斗大圓珠，亦覺魚腥，間焚之，其發清香可愛。 貨於蘇門之市，價亦非輕，官秤一兩，用彼國金錢十二個，一斤該金錢一百九 十二個，准中國銅錢四萬九十文，尤其貴也。　　詩曰：一片平方石，群龍任 往還。身騰霄漢上，交戲海波間。吐沫人爭取，拿舟路險難。邊夷曾見貢，歡 笑動天顏。

○翠藍嶼 　　其山大小有七門，中可過船。傳聞釋迦佛經此山，浴於水，被竊其袈裟， 佛誓云：「後有穿衣者，必爛皮肉。」由此男女削髮無衣，僅有樹葉紉結而遮 前後。米穀亦無，惟在海網捕魚蝦，及蕉、椰子之為食啖也。然聞此語，未可 深信。然其往來，未得泊其山下。宣德七年壬子十月二十三日，風雨水不順， 偶至此山，泊繫三日夜，山中之人駕獨木舟來貨椰實，舟中男婦果如前言，始 知不謬矣。　　詩曰：浩蕩翠藍嶼，叢林茂不疏。人形其獸類，椰實以瓜粗。 腰掩草微有，頭髡髮竟無。幾番揮筆寫，堪記不堪圖。

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
