Babies in Siam and a world of curious beliefs
The article describes Siamese customs where all babies receive the name Dang at birth and are unclothed for years. It details birth rites with a blessed cord, three bowls of rice scattered by elders, protective charms, and the heat of the household influencing restraint. It also touches on botanical explanations of flowers, quotes about wind and wisdom, and a note on Max Beerbohm and Constantine the Great in historical mirroring.
