- Description
- Red-stained wood rectangular signage plaque with hook for hanging in the middle of the top edge. Chinese characters and the numbers 1-70 are black-inked vertically from the top right corner to bottom left corner.
- Object History
- This item originates from the Chinese Herbalist Store “Way Sang Yuen Wat Kee & Co.”, Victoria B.C. Plaque is the legend for the arrangement of apothecary drawers (HV975.5.2) used in at Way Sang Yuen Wat Kee & Co. and currently on display in the Burnaby Village Museum exhibit. Each drawer has Chinese words on the side and sequence of drawers was arranged according to The Thousand-Character Writing (QianZiWen). The Thousand-Character Text, is a Chinese poem that has been used as a primer for teaching Chinese characters to children from the sixth century onward. It contains exactly one thousand characters, each used only once, arranged into 250 lines of four characters apiece and grouped into four line rhyming stanzas to make it easy to memorize. It is sung in a way similar to children learning the Latin alphabet singing an "alphabet song." Along with the Three Character Classic and the Hundred Family Surnames, it formed the basis of literacy training in traditional China. There are some rules for allocating Chinese medicinal material into the apothecary drawers. Chinese medicinal materials are assigned into different drawers based on their scent and property in general. Usually Chinese medicinal material with similar property would be put together (in the same drawer or nearby). Processed Chinese medicinal materials are separated from minerals. The staff responsible for preparing the medicine for the patient should remember the location, content and the effect of the Chinese medicinal materials in order to have their work done efficiently.

- Photograph of a class sitting at their desks. The desks are attached to the backs of the chairs. The name of the class and school is unknown. An earlier catalogue record conjectures it is probably a Burnaby school, possibly Gilmore Avenue School. The inscription in pencil of the date 1920 is of unknown origin, but the clothing styles of the students indicate this date is probably close to being correct. There are 10 girls and 22 boys in the class, unsegregated in seating arrangement. The boys are wearing dark turtle neck sweaters, some with a dark sports jacket over the sweater. The boys' hair is moppish, some parted, most not. The girls are wearing dresses (little detail visible) and long hair, some with a ribbon on top and pulled back. A black board on the right side of the students has a large map of South America drawn on it. A Red Cross Nurse's picture is above this board. The alphabet is written in large block capitals in chalk across the top of the rear blackboard. Queen Mary's picture is above this board. A female teacher is standing beneath Queen Mary. The dangling lights have conical shades. Inscribed on the negative, lower left of the print: "267." Annotations in pencil read, "1920" (front of photo, upper right) and "Mr. Tom Browning" (back of photo).
