``As for the location where a given image is to be store, Ricci give sthe
Chinese a number of further rules. The place should be spacious, but not
so crowded with images that a single one gets lost: a magistrate's yamen,
a busy market, or a school jammed with students would all be unsuitable.''
--- Jonathan D. Spence (1984), The memory palace of Matteo Ricci, p. 26.
