给你八一段著名的莫理循在1895年写的关于四川宜宾的一段：
![]()
There are 180,000 people in Suifu, and, as is the case with Chinese cities, a larger area than that under habitation is occupied by the public graveyard outside the city, which covers the hill slopes for miles and miles. The number of opium-smokers is so large that the question is not, who does smoke opium, but who doesn't. In the mission street alone, besides the Inland Mission, the Buddhist Temple, Mohammedan Mosque, and Roman Catholic Mission, there are eight opium-houses. Every bank, silk shop, and hong, of any pretension whatever, throughout the city, has its opium-room, with the lamp always lit ready for the guest. Opium-rooms are as common as smoking rooms are with us. A whiff of opium rather than a nip of whisky is the preliminary to business in Western China.
吸食鸦片的人之多， 不是有多少人吸食的问题，而是到底有多少人不吸食的问题。
仅仅在教会街上，对应着教堂，佛庙，清真寺旁边，就有八个鸦片馆子。
每个银行，丝绸店，任何一个有头面的机构都有自己的鸦片馆， 而且灯总是为客人开着的。 鸦片馆子就像我们的吸烟屋一样普遍。 在西南中国，谈生意的开头不是一口威士忌而是一缕鸦片烟
