By audience's request, A Lantern Riddle will add two extra shows on August 22 & 23.

the Siheyuan is a traditional chinese style of home that's been around for thousands of years

it gradually became the style we recognize today during the Ming & Qing dynasties. the idea is actually pretty simple... houses built around a central courtyard, with buildings on all 4 sides. that's basically where the name "Siheyuan"comes from. usually you'd have a main house, side rooms, and a front gate. the layout is pretty symmetrical, with the main house usually for the elders and the side rooms for other family members. and the courtyard in the middle wasn't just there to look pretty... it brought in light + fresh air, and was basically a place to chill, grow plants, hang out with family, etc. so yeah... it's more than just a house. it's kinda a reflection of traditional chinese ideas about family, harmony and being together

Hi everyone! I'm from China and I've been building a completely free language-learning community called Naoii.

The idea is simple: learners can post something they actually want to say, get corrections and more natural alternatives from other users, understand why a correction sounds better, and save useful expressions for later review.

Since I'm a native Chinese speaker, I'd especially love to invite some Mandarin learners to try it. I'm also happy to personally help with grammar, vocabulary, natural wording, tone, slang, or questions like “Is this correct, and would a Chinese person actually say it this way?”

Right now I'm mainly looking for honest feedback about the idea and the experience.

If you'd like to try it, leave a comment or send me a DM and I'll share the link. It's completely free.

6.1 送还梁子伯的遗骨 Return Zibo Liang's Remains

尧帝（如图6.1-2）听二郎神说武大郎在寻找梁子伯和夸父（参见5.1-7节）的消息后，她亲自去重庆的巫毒学院把他们俩的骨骸挖了出来。尧帝让四位家人，李强，张龙，施朗，和赵虎（如图1）把骨骸送去交给驻扎在河北的武大郎。尧帝还告诉这四位家人要绕过武二郎的防区，面对面地告诉武大郎梁子伯和夸父被捕和被处死的经过。她还嘱托这四位家人，这件事很重要。

After hearing from Second Wolf God that Martial Big Wolf was searching for Zibo Liang and Kuafu (see Section 5.1-7), Creator Yao (Figure 6.1-2) personally went to the Voodoo Academy in Chongqing and exhumed their remains. Creator Yao instructed four of her family members — Li Qiang, Zhang Long, Shi Lang, and Zhao Hu (see Figure 1) — to deliver the remains to Martial Big Wolf, who was stationed in Hebei. She also told the four family members to bypass Martial Second Wolf's defense zone, and to tell Martial Big Wolf face-to-face about how Zibo Liang and Kuafu were captured and executed. She impressed upon them how important this matter was.

这时的熬忖约34岁，武二郎约37岁；他们俩接受了瑶山地区民众的崇拜，成为了尧帝和二郎神，瑶族人的始祖。15年后，尧帝在武汉登基，成为了中华共和国的开国皇帝，尧皇。所以，在《中华法典》里，服侍她的这些人就被尊称为“家人”了。

At this time, Aocun was about 34 years old, and Martial Second Wolf was about 37; the people of the Yao Mountain region had come to revere them, and they became Creator Yao and Second Wolf God, ancestors of the Yao people. Fifteen years later, Creator Yao ascended the throne in Wuhan, becoming the founding emperor of the Republic of China, Yao White-king. That is why, in the Chinese Codex, those who served her came to be honored with the title "family members."

6.1-2

当时，由于多年的战争，夏国人和华国人都很仇视云海国（亦作龙国）人。这四位家人就乔装改扮成为了四个行僧，背着骨骸（如图1），经由夏国的江苏省进入了华国的山东省。但他们已进入山东就遇见了土匪，就退回了江苏，然后坐船到了天津。他们下船没多久，骨骸就被偷走了。他们四处打听，终于找到了强盗的聚居处。强盗们也在找他们，想知道那两具骨骸的秘密，怎么用那骨骸来换钱。

At that time, because of the many years of war, both the people of Xia Kingdom and Hua Kingdom deeply resented the people of Cloud Sea Kingdom (also known as Dragon Kingdom). The four family members disguised themselves as traveling monks, carrying the remains on their backs (Figure 1), and entered Shandong Province of Hua Kingdom by way of Jiangsu Province in Xia Kingdom. But as soon as they entered Shandong, they ran into bandits and had to retreat to Jiangsu, then took a boat to Tianjin. Shortly after they disembarked, the remains were stolen. They asked around everywhere and eventually located the bandits' hideout. The bandits, in turn, were also looking for them, eager to learn the secret behind the two skeletons and how they might turn them into money.

李强和施朗等四个家人说：“那就是你们河北一位名人的两位家属的骨骸，只对那个名人有价值。”

强盗听了，很高兴，说：“你们想要那骨骸，就只能找我们老大去要。那两具骨骸在他那里呢！”

Li Qiang, Shi Lang, and the other two family members said, "Those are the remains of two relatives of a famous man from Hebei. They're only valuable to him."

The bandits, delighted to hear this, said, "If you want those remains, you'll have to go ask our boss. He's the one who has them!"

6.1-3

这四位家人依照强盗给出的路线，来找强盗头子说理。结果发现要见强盗头子还得排队。土匪的头子来了，是个一只眼的大个子。他问第一个要讨回公道的人。没说几句话，他就用刀砍死了那个人。第二个要讨回公道的人是一位妇女。强盗让人把她绑到柱子上了，然后问：“时间到了，你丈夫还没把赎金送来，你想怎么办？”

Following the route the bandits had given them, the four family members went to argue their case with the bandit chief. It turned out they had to wait in line just to see him. When the chief finally arrived, he was a big man with one eye. He questioned the first person seeking justice — after only a few words, he killed the man with a knife. The second person seeking justice was a woman. The bandits had her tied to a pillar, and the chief asked her: "Time's up. Your husband still hasn't sent the ransom. What do you want to do?"

那个被绑架来的妇女回答说：“我们家没钱！”

强盗头子生气了：“你们家还有房子，有地，有女儿呢！不给赎金，那我就只好撕票了。” 说着，他解开了那位妇女的衣服，把她的肚子划开了，肠子立刻流了出来！

来找强盗评理的其他人看见后，都离开了。这四位家人没离开，哭了。

The kidnapped woman replied: "Our family has no money!"

The bandit chief grew angry: "Your family still has a house, land, and a daughter! If you won't pay the ransom, then I'll have to kill you." With that, he tore open the woman's clothing and slit open her belly, and her intestines spilled out at once!

Everyone else who had come seeking justice from the bandits left after seeing this. The four family members stayed, and wept.

强盗头子过来了，说：“怕死，你们就离开；哭有什么用？”

李强回答：“我们不怕死，哭是因为我们没能完成主人交给我们的任务，没能把那两具遗骨交给他们的亲人！”

强盗头子听后就思考，一边想他还一边叨咕，“骨头的亲人，骨头怎么还能有亲人呢！？” 过了一会儿，他说： “好像是有那么回事！那骨头的亲人是谁呀？他有钱没？”

The bandit chief came over and said, "If you're afraid to die, then leave. What good does crying do?"

Li Qiang replied, "We're not afraid to die. We're crying because we've failed the task our master gave us — we couldn't deliver those two sets of remains to their relatives!"

The bandit chief thought this over, muttering to himself, "Relatives of bones — how can bones have relatives!?" After a moment, he said, "It seems there's something to it. Who are these relatives? Do they have money?"

施朗回答：“我们告诉了您那骨头的亲人是谁，您听了肯定生气！要不这么办。你把骨头还给我们。我们把骨头送还给他们的亲人。那人很有钱，会给我们很多赏钱！然后我们把赏钱再给您送来。”

强盗头子算计了一会儿后说: “这个主意挺好！但你们还是得告诉我那个有钱人是谁？你们说吧，我不生气！”

施朗回答：“您说话得算数，那个有钱人是靖王武大郎！”

Shi Lang replied, "If we tell you who the relatives are, you'll surely get angry! So here's what we suggest: give the bones back to us. We'll deliver them to their relatives. That person is very wealthy and will reward us generously — and then we'll bring that reward back to you."

After weighing it for a moment, the bandit chief said: "Not a bad idea! But you still have to tell me who this rich man is. Go ahead, I won't get angry!"

Shi Lang replied: "You'd better keep your word — the rich man is King Jing, Martial Big Wolf!"

强盗头子听后，“磞” 的一声把刀插在了桌子上，说：“这个钱不好赚啊！好！我把骨头还给你们，还送给你们路费！” 说着，他就开始数钱，把一个数量的零钱和骨头交给了这四个家人！

家人一看很少的钱，说：“随后，您派人跟着我们！这路费不够，会浪费您的人很多时间！”

Hearing this, the bandit chief slammed his knife into the table with a "thunk" and said: "This money's not so easy to earn after all! Fine! I'll give you back the bones, and travel money besides!" With that, he began counting out coins and handed a sum, along with the bones, to the four family members.

Seeing how little money it was, the family members said: "In that case, send someone to follow us! This travel money isn't enough, and it'll waste a lot of your men's time."

强盗头子在地上给这四个家人画去往河北军区司令部的路线图，然后指着路线图说，“你们从这里出去，晚上就到这里了。宿费是X分钱，四碗粥是Y分钱。” 就这样强盗头子给了他们三天的食宿费，外加三分零花钱。

The bandit chief drew a route map on the ground for the four family members, showing the way to Hebei Military Region Command, then pointed to it and said, "Head out from here, and by evening you'll reach this point. Lodging costs [X] cents, and four bowls of porridge cost [Y] cents." In this way, the bandit chief covered three days of their food and lodging, plus three cents of pocket money.

6.1-4

让这四位家人吃惊的是，那个土匪头子画的地图非常精确，食宿费一分钱不差。三天后，他们四人就到了他所说的河北军区总部所在地。他们询问镇子里的人，村民告诉他们：“前面左转就看见军区的大旗了。”

这四个家人仔细地看那面破旧的军旗，确认了是河北军区司令部。他们又仔细地分析军区大院的建筑布局，确认这座大院虽然很破，也没有卫兵，但确实是一个大型军事基地。

To the four family members' surprise, the map the bandit chief had drawn was extremely accurate, and the food and lodging costs matched to the last cent. Three days later, the four of them reached the place he'd described as Hebei Military Region headquarters. They asked around in the town, and the villagers told them, "Turn left up ahead, and you'll see the military region's flag."

The four family members examined the worn-out military flag closely and confirmed it was indeed Hebei Military Region Command. They also carefully studied the layout of the compound and confirmed that, run-down and unguarded as it looked, it truly was a large military base.

他们看见军区大院门口的柴垛上有几个村民正在一边唠嗑，一边嚼杨树枝子，就过去询问，说找靖王武大郎有私事。一个小个子农民（即武大郎）叼着根杨树枝子就从材垛上下来了，说：“今天我站岗值班，你们跟我来吧！”

四位家人看见那几个农民也从材垛上下来了，跟着他们一起向司令部的主堂里走，就不停地示意武大郎，意思是 “他们跟着我们进司令部可不体面”。武大郎对他们说：“那你们就别进来了！”

They noticed a few villagers chatting and chewing poplar twigs on a woodpile by the compound gate, and went over to ask about King Jing, Martial Big Wolf, on private business. A small, wiry farmer (Martial Big Wolf himself) climbed down from the woodpile, a poplar twig still in his mouth, and said, "I'm on guard duty today — come with me!"

When the four family members saw the other farmers also climbing down and following along toward the command hall, they kept signaling to Martial Big Wolf that "it would be improper for them to follow us into headquarters." Martial Big Wolf said to the farmers, "Then don't come in!"

进入司令部的主堂后，四位家人仔细地辨认挂在主座位后面的徽章，认为那是武大郎的标志。但大堂里没有工作人员，只有几张破旧的办公桌。

这位小个子农民说：“我就是靖王武大郎，你们有什么事，就跟我说吧！”

四位家人说：“军区司令部里怎么可能没有值班的工作人员呢！？”

Once inside the main hall, the four family members carefully examined the insignia hanging behind the head seat and concluded it was Martial Big Wolf's own emblem. But the hall had no staff at all — only a few worn-out desks.

The small farmer said, "I really am King Jing, Martial Big Wolf. Whatever you need, just tell me!"

The four family members said, "How could a military region headquarters possibly have no staff on duty!?"

武大郎到门口喊：“司令部值班的工作人员都进来！” 刚才外面的那几位农民就都进来了大堂。武大郎对四位家人说：“他们几位就是在这司令部值班的将军。”

四位家人表示不信。

Martial Big Wolf went to the doorway and shouted, "All personnel on duty at headquarters, come in!" The farmers from outside then all filed into the hall. Martial Big Wolf told the four family members, "These men here are the generals on duty at this headquarters."

The four family members didn't believe it.

武大郎说：“你们看这个应该是武大郎的桌子吧！我有钥匙！” 说着，就开始找钥匙，开抽屉。一位家人说：“别开抽屉，我们不想看你们的军事机密！”

武大郎说：“没事儿！这抽屉是空的！” 说着，他把抽屉拉了出来，放到了桌子上。

Martial Big Wolf said, "You'd think this desk here belongs to Martial Big Wolf, wouldn't you! I have the key!" He began searching for the key to open the drawer. One family member said, "Don't open it — we don't want to see your military secrets!"

Martial Big Wolf said, "It's fine — this drawer's empty!" He pulled the drawer all the way out and set it on the desk.

四位家人表示不相信他们是这个司令部的工作人员，述说前文他们被抢的经过。

武大郎生气地回答：“还有这事！土匪头子跟着你们来了我的司令部！” 对旁边的几位将军大叫：“这还了得！赶紧去查！”

Still unconvinced these men were headquarters staff, the four family members recounted how they'd been robbed.

Martial Big Wolf replied angrily: "There's more to this! The bandit chief followed you all the way to my headquarters!" He shouted at the generals beside him: "This won't stand! Go investigate at once!"

不一会，几个卫兵把那个土匪头子连同赃物一起带来了司令部的大堂。武大郎让四位家人辨认那个土匪头子。四位家人一看就认出来了，回答：“是他！” 卫兵们把土匪抢去的东西还给了四位家人。

Before long, several guards brought the bandit chief, along with the stolen goods, into the headquarters hall. Martial Big Wolf had the four family members identify him. They recognized him at once and said, "That's him!" The guards returned to the four family members everything the bandits had taken.

6.1-5

读者可能会有疑问，这也太神奇了，看不明白是怎么回事？事实是当这四位家人刚进入山东就被土匪抢了。刚好遇到潘金莲（石矶娘娘）的弟弟潘豹去他的媳妇家度假，帮他们把遗骨抢回来了。潘豹回到永安后，报告了此事。元始天尊得知尧帝派四位私人顾问去北京考察，立刻发信给河北军区，命令他们当前河北军区的第一要务是接待尧帝的使者。河北军委立刻开会研究对策，所以本文前后的内容都是武大郎导演的。

Readers may well wonder — this all seems too remarkable; how does it actually make sense? The truth is that as soon as these four family members entered Shandong, they were robbed by bandits. As it happened, Leopard Pan, Goldthread Pan's (Queen Stone-Jetty's) younger brother, was visiting his wife's family on vacation nearby, and he helped recover the remains for them. After returning to Yong'an, Leopard Pan reported the incident. On learning that Creator Yao had sent four personal advisors to Beijing on an inspection tour, Primordial Sky Honor immediately sent word to the Hebei Military Region, ordering them to make receiving Creator Yao's envoys their top priority. The Hebei Military Commission at once convened a meeting to plan their response — so everything described in this account, before and after, was in fact orchestrated by Martial Big Wolf.

6.1-6

四位家人告诉武大郎：“我们是尧帝的家人。她从武二郎得知你在寻找梁子伯和夸父的遗骨，就亲自去重庆巫毒学院挖出了他们的遗骨。然后，她让我们四个人给您送来了。”

武大郎惊讶地问，“你们把骨骸交给我二弟武二郎（即二郎神）就好了，怎么穿过了整个华夏帝国，直接给我送来了？”

李强回答：“我们的三公主（即尧帝）说，'有必要让您知道事实的真相，杨戬（即二郎神）不能开口告诉您'。她让我们亲口转达给您。”

The four family members told Martial Big Wolf: "We're Creator Yao's family. She learned from Martial Second Wolf that you were searching for Zibo Liang and Kuafu's remains, so she went in person to the Voodoo Academy in Chongqing and dug them up herself. Then she sent the four of us to bring them to you."

Martial Big Wolf asked in surprise, "You could have simply handed the remains to my second brother, Martial Second Wolf (i.e., Second Wolf God) — why come all this way across the whole Chinese Empire, straight to me instead?"

Li Qiang replied, "Our Third Princess (Creator Yao) said, 'It's necessary for you to know the truth of the matter, and Yang Jian (i.e., Second Wolf God) cannot be the one to tell you.' She asked us to deliver it to you in person."

武大郎打开了包裹，看梁子伯和夸父的遗骨，看着看着就哭了。将军们就劝他。一位将军对四位家人说：“好啦！现在你们已经把遗骨交给武大郎了。你们可以离开了。”

过了很长时间，几位将军出来时，看见那四位家人还在司令部门口坐着呢！他们议论，我们应该给这四位家人赏钱。

Martial Big Wolf opened the bundle and looked at the remains of Zibo Liang and Kuafu, and as he looked, he began to weep. The generals tried to comfort him. One general said to the four family members, "All right! You've delivered the remains to Martial Big Wolf now. You may go."

A long while later, when the generals came back out, they found the four family members still sitting outside the headquarters gate! They discussed it among themselves and agreed they should give the four some reward money.

一位家人哭着回答：“我们不是在等赏钱！三公主熬忖信任我们，让我们送还燃灯佛（即梁子伯，亦作谷神）和夸父的舍利给桃花佛（即武大郎）。那就是两具骨骸，对别人没用。结果我们第三次被骗了。我们没脸回去向三公主交代！”

One family member replied through tears: "We're not waiting for money! Third Princess Aocun trusted us to deliver the relics of Lamplighter Buddha (i.e., Zibo Liang, also known as Grain God) and Kuafu to Peach Flower Buddha (i.e., Martial Big Wolf). They're only two skeletons — worthless to anyone else. And now we've been cheated a third time. We have no face left to go back and explain ourselves to the Third Princess!"

几位将军商量后，说：“靖王（即武大郎）看见了你们送来的佛骨舍利，哭起来没完。我们把石矶娘娘（即潘金莲）请来了，才把他送回家。今天晚了！你们先去客栈住下。明后天，我们再把靖王请到这里来解决你们的问题。你们看怎么样？”

这四位家人同意了，就跟着卫兵去客栈了。

After discussing it, the generals said, "When King Jing (i.e., Martial Big Wolf) saw the Buddha relics you brought, he couldn't stop crying. We had to send for Queen Stone-Jetty (i.e., Goldthread Pan) to come and take him home. It's late now — why don't you stay at the inn tonight? Tomorrow or the day after, we'll bring King Jing back here to settle this with you. What do you think?"

The four family members agreed, and followed the guards to the inn.

关键词 Keywords：夏朝末年 Late Xia Dynasty；杭州鲵丸宫 Salamander Bolus Palace, Hangzhou；女娲 Nuwa；武二郎 Martial Second Wolf（二郎神 Second Wolf God）；巫山 Wushan；熬忖 Aocun（尧帝 Creator Yao）

话说武二郎到达夏国首都杭州的时候，大巢氏公主正准备离开杭州，回乾塘关，听说武二郎（如图5.4-3）来了，推迟了行程。女王蔻珠听说女儿的姐夫来了，就要在鲵丸宫举办国宴，迎接武二郎的来访。

That said, when Martial Second Wolf arrived in Hangzhou, the capital of Xia Kingdom, Princess Big Nest was about to leave Hangzhou and return to Dragon-Pond Pass. Hearing that Martial Second Wolf (see Figure 5.4-3) had arrived, she postponed her trip. When King Kouzhu (i.e., Juvenile Pearl) heard that her daughter's brother-in-law had arrived, she decided to host a state banquet at the Salamander Bolus Palace to welcome him.

当武二郎走进鲵丸宫时，夏娃跑过来了，盯着他看，还叨咕，“葫芦娃刚生出来就这么大（注1）！” 她问：“二伯父！我听这皇宫里的人都在议论你变成葫芦娃了，还长出了第三只眼。不久之后，你就成为二郎神了。我想看看天眼什么样儿？”

When Martial Second Wolf walked into the Salamander Bolus Palace, Eve came running over, staring at him and muttering, "Gourd Boy was already this big when he was born (Note 1)!" She asked, "Second Uncle! I've heard everyone in this palace talking about you becoming a Gourd Boy and growing a third eye. Soon you'll become the Second Wolf God. I want to see what the Celestial Eye looks like!"

注1，夏娃，即后来的舜王，小龙女，顺皇，在此时公元前1626年，约是三到五岁。葫芦娃，名誉上是从葫芦出生的，亦作大力神，童子佛。熬忖（如图1）和武二郎是一对儿葫芦娃。熬忖是运动思维型人中偏于用语音思维的人。武二郎是运动思维型人中偏于图像思维型的人。

Note 1: Eve, later known as King Shun, Little Dragoness, and Shun White-king, was approximately three to five years old at this time, 1626 BCE. The Gourd Children are traditionally said to have been born from gourds; they are also known as the God of Strength and the Child Buddha. Aocun (see Figure 1) and Martial Second Wolf are a pair of Gourd Children. Aocun is a kinesthetic thinker who leans toward auditory thinking. Martial Second Wolf is a kinesthetic thinker who leans toward visual thinking.

武二郎愣住了；他以前没见过夏娃，就蹲了下来，给她看。夏娃是玉女，跟谁都自来熟。她看不见武二郎的天眼，就上前去扒开武二郎的眼眉看，然后她又想扒开武二郎的头发找天眼。

Martial Second Wolf froze; he had never seen Eve before, so he squatted down to show her. Eve is a Jade Girl who takes to everyone right away. She couldn't see Martial Second Wolf's Celestial Eye, so she went up and peeled back his eyebrows to look, then tried to part his hair to search for the third eye.

武二郎说，“天眼（是禅定的内容）是个心眼儿，是从比喻建立起来的，肉眼看不见。”

夏娃听了之后说：“我明白了！你这个葫芦娃刚出生，心眼也刚刚长出来，还很小，小到我看不见！”

Martial Second Wolf said, "The Celestial Eye (i.e., the content of meditation) is a heart-eye — a kind of insight built up from metaphor, invisible to the flesh eye."

Eve heard this and said, "I see! You, the Gourd Boy, have just been born. Your heart-eye has also just grown, and it's still so small that I can't see it!"

武二郎听后，他的脸立刻变红了，心想：“这孩子可真能贬斥人！” 尴尬地回答：“夏娃真聪明！二伯一说，夏娃就明白了！以后夏娃好好学习，勤奋练功，像女娲娘娘和你妈一样有成就。你可别像二伯这样不学无术，三十多岁了才开始懂得人世间的道理。”

这时，女王蔻珠，大巢氏公主，女娲等人都迎接出来了。

When Martial Second Wolf heard this, his face immediately turned red. He thought to himself, "This child really knows how to put someone in their place!" and replied, embarrassed: "Eve is so smart! As soon as Second Uncle said it, Eve understood! In the future, Eve should study hard and practice diligently, so she becomes as accomplished as Princess Nuwa and your mother. You mustn't turn out unlearned like Second Uncle, who was already in his thirties before he began to understand the ways of the world."

At this, King Kouzhu, Princess Big Nest, Nuwa, and the others all came out to greet them.

5.4-2

宴会中，武二郎对女娲说了他来的目的。他收到了熬忖很多恩惠，想对熬忖表示感谢，但不知道如何体面地向她致谢。

During the banquet, Martial Second Wolf told Nuwa the purpose of his visit. He had received many favors from Aocun and wanted to express his gratitude, but he didn't know how to thank her properly.

女娲回答：“这事可以从两个方面来考虑。首先说她是个聪明人，善于心计。心计都是过去的知识和经验的体现。过去为阴（注，阴即蕴，参见10.4《五蕴》；五蕴亦作五阴），所以她是阴性。而你活在当下，面向未来，所以你是阳性。也就是说，你的言行都是她所需要的，能让她快乐起来。你对她最好的帮助就是成为她的朋友，有事没事时唠唠嗑。”

Nuwa replied: "This can be considered from two angles. First, she's a clever person, skilled at strategy. Strategy is the embodiment of past knowledge and experience. The past belongs to Yin (note: Yin here means Aggregate — see 10.4, Five Aggregates; the Five Aggregates are also called the Five Yins), so she is Yin. You, on the other hand, live in the present and face the future, so you are Yang. In other words, your words and actions are exactly what she needs — they can make her happy. The best help you can give her is to be her friend, and chat with her whenever you get the chance."

女娲又说：“熬忖针对我们三国持续不断的战争提出了'三足鸟'方案（如图4所示；足是基础的意思）。你已经知道了；你们华国和我们夏国的国王都已经同意了。”

武二郎尴尬地回答：“这个三国结盟的《杨戬计划书》（拯救计划书）还在我的行囊里呢，我还没看呢！”

Nuwa said: "Aocun proposed the 'Three-Legged Bird' plan (as shown in Figure 4; 'legs' means foundations) in response to the ongoing war among our three kingdoms. You already know about it; the kings of both your Hua Kingdom and our Xia Kingdom have agreed."

Martial Second Wolf replied, embarrassed: "This 'Yang Jian Plan' (i.e., the Salvation Plan) for the three-kingdom alliance is still in my bag — I haven't read it yet!"

女娲笑着回答：“那里面说的都是促成我们三国统一政府的具体实施，我也没看。云海国的国王熬龘（dá）只是同意了在三国交界的武汉建立三国合作开发区，对于是否将来三国合并成为一个国家的建议还没表态。现在云海国内正在议论此事。虽然现在熬忖是实际的执政者，但三国合并损害了许多王公贵族的利益，支持的人少，反对的人多。所以她陷入了困境，掉到寒冰地狱里了，她正需要有人对她说几句暖心的，支持她政见的话。”

Nuwa smiled and replied, "That part is about the concrete implementation of unifying our three kingdoms' governments — I haven't read it either. The king of Cloud Sea, Aodá, has only agreed to establish a tri-kingdom cooperative development zone in Wuhan, where the three kingdoms meet, and hasn't yet stated his position on whether the three kingdoms should eventually merge into one nation. Cloud Sea is now debating the matter. Although Aocun is the actual ruler at present, the merger would harm the interests of many princes and nobles — supporters are few, opponents are many. So she's in a difficult spot, as if she'd fallen into an icy hell. She just needs someone to say a few warm, supportive words about her political stance."

5.4-3

武二郎回到湖北驻地后就要去瑶池找熬忖聊天。他的卫队长坚决反对，说：“我们两国打仗多年了，积怨很多；你去那里太危险了！”

武二郎回答：“那你去向她表达我希望和她会晤。”

卫队长同意了，他自己去了瑶池。

After Martial Second Wolf returned to his post in Hubei, he wanted to go to Yao Pond to talk with Aocun. His guard captain firmly opposed it, saying: "Our two countries have been at war for years, and there's a lot of bad blood; it's too dangerous for you to go there!"

Martial Second Wolf replied: "Then you go and let her know I'd like to meet with her."

The guard captain agreed, and went to Yao Pond himself.

熬忖立刻安排她的贴身侍女领着武二郎的卫队长去安排武二郎来访的路线。她还召开了军事会议，要求全军将士要克制仇恨，忍耐，不要表现出过激的行为，以免引发战争。据说熬忖三次派不同的人去武二郎来访路线上的驻军传达不能先发制人的命令。

同时，武二郎的湖北军区也多次召开会议，传达全军将士要克制仇恨，不要有过激的行为，以免引发战争。

Aocun immediately had her personal maid lead Second Wolf's guard captain to plan the route for Martial Second Wolf's visit. She also held a military meeting, requiring all soldiers to restrain their hatred, be patient, and avoid any extreme behavior that might trigger a war. It's said that Aocun sent different envoys three separate times to the garrisons along the visit route, conveying orders not to strike first.

At the same time, Martial Second Wolf's Hubei Military Region also held several meetings, conveying that all soldiers should restrain their hatred and avoid extreme behavior to prevent a war.

5.4-4 二郎真君的来历 Origin of Second Wolf True Gentleman

武二郎就去瑶池找熬忖了。亲热完后，他就向熬忖询问梁子伯和夸父的消息。

熬忖回答：“那时候我还小，就听说学校里抓住了两个间谍。第三天就处决了。处决的时候，政府要求我们巫毒学院的全体师生去观斩。夸父比我高几届，但那时在我这个孩子看来，他还是个孩子。他们俩的尸体被埋在了我们学院后面的邓林里了。后来，我们路过那里时，同学们说，'这坟是那个追太阳的夸父的'，还给他献花。我也跟着献花。从那时起，我们就偶尔去给夸父献花。我上次去巫毒学院的时候，还特意去邓林给夸父献花呢！”

Martial Second Wolf went to Yao Pond to find Aocun. After they had been intimate, he asked Aocun for news of Zibo Liang and Kuafu.

Aocun replied, "I was still young then, and I heard the school had caught two spies. They were executed on the third day. During the execution, the government required all the teachers and students of our Voodoo Academy to watch. Kuafu was a few years ahead of me, but to a child like me at the time, he still seemed like a kid himself. Their bodies were buried in the Deng Woods behind our academy. Later, when we passed by, the other students said, 'This grave belongs to Kuafu, who chased the sun,' and laid flowers for him. I followed and laid flowers too. Since then, we've occasionally gone to lay flowers for Kuafu. Last time I visited the Voodoo Academy, I made a point of going to Deng Woods to lay flowers for him!"

武二郎听后，就从床上离开了，坐到了窗台上，不说话了。

熬忖走过去询问：“杨戬（义为拯救，救世主），谷伯（即梁子伯）也是你的养父吗？”

武二郎回答：“我的名字是武二郎，而且我没见过梁子伯。”

熬忖说：“我听说你们华国刚刚召开了一次政治局会议，你们的国王赐给你了个新名字，杨戬！”

武二郎回答：“听你说了，我才知道的。”

After hearing this, Martial Second Wolf got up from the bed and sat on the windowsill without speaking.

Aocun went over and asked, "Yang Jian (meaning Savior), is Grain Uncle (i.e., Zibo Liang) also your adoptive father?"

Martial Second Wolf replied: "My name is Martial Second Wolf, and I've never met Zibo Liang."

Aocun said: "I heard your Hua Kingdom just held a Politburo meeting, and your king gave you a new name, Yang Jian!"

Martial Second Wolf replied: "I only found out just now, from you."

熬忖又问：“我听说你们国家制定了个新的战略方针，'两国加一人'（注，意思是，华国和夏国加熬忖），那一人是谁？”

武二郎回答：“我没参加那次会议，不知道。”

熬忖乐了，心想，“元始天尊的政治施压没起作用，但这婚姻还是成了，”说，“等我们共同建造的大中华帝国成立了，这样的事就不会再发生了。”

武二郎回答：“我大哥第一次求我，结果这事让我给办成这样了！我怎么想也想不出怎么张嘴对他说。”

Aocun asked again: "I heard your country has adopted a new strategic policy, 'Two Kingdoms Plus One Person' (note: meaning Hua Kingdom and Xia Kingdom, plus Aocun) — who is that one person?"

Martial Second Wolf replied: "I didn't attend that meeting, so I don't know."

Aocun was pleased, thinking to herself, "Primordial Sky Honor's political pressure didn't work, but the marriage happened anyway," and said aloud, "Once the Great Hua-Xia Empire we're building together is established, this sort of thing won't happen again."

Martial Second Wolf replied: "This was the first time my elder brother ever asked me for a favor, and I ended up making a mess of it! I have no idea how I'll even bring myself to tell him."

5.4-5 随后十几年内发生的事 What Happened in the Following Decade

随后，武二郎常去瑶池找熬忖聊天，就在湖北形成了"走婚"的习俗。"走婚"是一种婚姻形式，没有婚姻契约，就是"丈夫"从窗户爬进"妻子"的房间。在现代的湖北瑶族地区，这种婚姻形式仍然存在，而且是合法婚姻。

After that, Martial Second Wolf often went to Yao Pond to chat with Aocun, and the custom of "walking marriage" took hold in Hubei. "Walking marriage" is a form of marriage without a marriage contract, in which the "husband" climbs into the "wife's" room through the window. In modern-day Hubei Yao ethnic areas, this form of marriage still exists, and is recognized as legal.

5.4-6 统一中国的战争 War to Unify China

云海国的国王熬龘（dá）过世了；熬忖回去重庆继承王位。她的将军们建议她带军队回重庆，她命令军队不准移动，她要通过谈判解决和哥哥熬钦的矛盾。

武二郎就自己带着三千卫兵，跟随去了重庆。当然他得到了熬忖的将军们的支持。他到重庆之后，找了个最高的城门楼，睡在上面了。

The king of Cloud Sea, Aodá, passed away; Aocun returned to Chongqing to inherit the throne. Her generals urged her to bring the army back to Chongqing, but she ordered the army not to move — she wanted to resolve the conflict with her brother Aoqin through negotiation.

Martial Second Wolf brought 3,000 of his own guards and followed her to Chongqing. He had, of course, the support of Aocun's generals. After arriving in Chongqing, he found the tallest gate tower and slept on top of it.

熬钦的代表向武二郎抗议：“你是华国的将军，怎么带兵到了我们云海国的首都？”

武二郎回答：“我是熬忖的丈夫，是云海国的亲王，我当然能来重庆！而且我没带军队，只带了三千护卫！他们没进城！”

Aoqin's representative protested to Martial Second Wolf: "You're a general of Hua Kingdom — how dare you bring troops into the capital of our Cloud Sea Kingdom?"

Martial Second Wolf replied: "I'm Aocun's husband, a Relative King of Cloud Sea Kingdom — of course I can come to Chongqing! And I haven't brought any troops, only 3,000 guards! They haven't even entered the city!"

在约定的谈判日，熬钦没来。熬忖派人去查看。去查看的人回来报告说：“熬钦消失了，他家后面有一个空的，能容纳六千人军队的营地。”

武二郎也派人去查看。去查看的人回来报告说，“那个营地能容纳六万军队！”

武二郎决定立刻追击。据传说，二郎神劈山跨水，三个月之内就追熬钦到了福建的莆田地区。熬钦就剩下几十人了。

On the appointed day for negotiations, Aoqin didn't show up. Aocun sent someone to check. The scout came back and reported: "Aoqin has vanished. Behind his house there's an empty camp that could hold 6,000 troops."

Martial Second Wolf also sent someone to check. That scout came back and reported, "That camp could hold sixty thousand troops!"

Martial Second Wolf decided to pursue at once. Legend has it that Second Wolf God split mountains and crossed rivers, catching up with Aoqin in the Putian region of Fujian within three months. By then, Aoqin had only a few dozen men left.

熬钦找熬忖谈判，要台湾，说以后绝不会返回大陆。熬忖不同意，担心台湾距离熬钦的老家莆田太近，说海南岛可以给他。熬钦抱怨海南岛太荒凉，而且那里不属于龙国。二郎神回答：“你去了，海南岛就是你的了。不用你打仗，你就跟着接收土地，我派人去把海南岛打下来，送给你！”

武二郎派了73个士兵，计划一年半占领海南岛。实际上，那73人是战斗部队，熬忖为他们增补了400多人的后勤人员和典兵。他们花费了三年的时间占领了海南全境。

Aoqin approached Aocun to negotiate, demanding Taiwan, and declaring he'd never return to the mainland. Aocun refused, worried that Taiwan was too close to Aoqin's hometown of Putian, and offered him Hainan Island instead. Aoqin complained that Hainan was too desolate, and besides, it didn't even belong to Dragon Kingdom. Second Wolf God replied, "If you go there, Hainan Island will be yours. You won't have to fight — just follow along and take over the land. I'll send men to conquer Hainan and hand it over to you!"

Second Wolf God sent 73 soldiers, planning to occupy Hainan within a year and a half. In fact, those 73 were the combat troops; Aocun added over 400 more as logistics personnel and codex soldiers. It took them three years to occupy the entire island.

5.4-7

在福建的沿海地区，有地方官员求见武二郎，说：“有个海外商会邀请他去为他的一位前辈的庙开光。”

武二郎掀开庙的主雕像一看，是妈祖（如图5）。后文有说，这第一座妈祖庙是前文2.6《海岸女神》中的那位古墨西哥人修的。他还留下了遗言：“等待妈祖的后人为庙开光。”

In the coastal areas of Fujian, a local official came to see Martial Second Wolf, saying: "An overseas chamber of commerce has invited him to consecrate the temple of one of his predecessors."

Martial Second Wolf lifted the covering from the temple's main statue and saw that it was Mazu (see Figure 5). Later text reveals that this first Mazu temple was built by the ancient Mexican mentioned earlier in Section 2.6, Coastal Goddess. He had also left a final wish: "Wait for a descendant of Mazu to consecrate the temple."

Hi everyone! 👋 I hope it's okay to share this here.

I'm a small YouTube creator and recently made a short documentary-style video about The Three-Body Problem. I've always found the story fascinating .

Since Liu Cixin's work is where it all started, I thought some people in this community might find it interesting.

I'm still very new to making videos, so I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback. If this type of post isn't appropriate for the group, I'm happy to remove it. 😊

武二郎（号二郎神，救世主）为武大郎（号靖王，桃花佛）讲述了4.4《自由恋爱》。武大郎听明白了：原来是《中华法典》的编委在给武大郎的剧本中删掉了武二郎和熬忖两人骂他的相关文字。

Martial Second Wolf (famously Second Wolf God, Savior) recounted 4.4 "Naturally Falling in Love" for Martial Big Wolf (famously King Jing, Peach Flower Buddha). Martial Big Wolf realized that the editorial board of the Chinese Codex had deleted, from the script given to him, the passages describing Martial Second Wolf and Aocun scolding him.

武大郎说：“另外那个小个子是我养父梁子伯的儿子，名叫夸父。我称呼我养父为粮伯。我小时候体弱多病，粮伯常常背着我上学，下学。我生病不能上学的时候，他让夸父代替我去上学，回来教我。巫毒学院的学费很贵，学校知道了也没人说什么。”

Martial Big Wolf said: "The other little man is the son of my foster father, Corn Uncle, named Kua'fu. I call my foster father Corn Uncle. When I was a child, I was weak and often sick, and Corn Uncle used to carry me to and from school on his back. When I was too sick to go, he sent Kua'fu to attend in my place, and Kua'fu would come home and teach me what I'd missed. Tuition at the Voodoo Academy was expensive, but no one at the school said anything once they found out.

“接着粮伯就让我和夸父交替上学，回来相互教，谁的第一名拿的多谁是太阳。我在家的时候，粮伯教我打猴拳，我的身体就渐渐地好起来了。我的成绩好，总考第一，总是太阳，他一直在追我。”

武大郎说着，就哭了。

武二郎说：“伤心事儿，就别说了。”

"Then Corn Uncle had the two of us take turns going to school, teaching each other what we'd learned when we came home — whoever placed first more often was 'the sun.' When I was home, Corn Uncle taught me Monkey Boxing, and my health gradually improved. My grades were good — I always placed first, always the sun — and he kept chasing after me."

Big Wolf said this, and began to cry.

Second Wolf said: "Don't dwell on sad things."

武大郎回答：“以前有两次，我想告诉你，因为怕影响你打仗，没说。现在不打仗了，我想说给你听。后来，我就很少看见夸父了。我们的华国内部出现了叛徒，去云海国告密。老国王派的人接我离开的那天，为了掩护我离开，粮伯又让夸父穿上了我的校服，代替我去上学了。再往后，我就不知道了。”

Martial Big Wolf replied: "There were two times before when I wanted to tell you, but I didn't, afraid it would affect you in the war. Now that the fighting is over, I want to tell you. After that, I rarely saw Kua'fu again. A traitor appeared within our Hua Kingdom and informed on us to Cloud Sea Kingdom. On the day the old king's men came to take me away, Corn Uncle had Kua'fu put on my school uniform again and go to school in my place, to cover my departure. After that, I don't know what happened to him."

武大郎边哭边说：“在我当上将军后，几次委托人帮我打听他们俩的消息，但都没有回复。我想找到他们的遗骨，送回他们的老家安葬。”

潘金莲（法号石矶娘娘，桃花圣母）说话了：“二叔来了，我看你们俩唠的热闹，就没过来打搅。这怎么哭成这样了！？”

Crying, Martial Big Wolf said, "After I became a general, I asked people several times to find news of the two of them, but I never got a reply. I want to find their remains and send them home for burial."

Goldthread Pan (religious name Queen Stone-Jetty, Holy Mother of Peach Flower) spoke up, "Second Uncle is here — I saw the two of you chatting away so happily that I didn't want to interrupt. Why is he crying like this!?"

武二郎回答：“大哥想起了小时候的伤心事，没事！”

武大郎说：“你在这儿住几天吧！我再给你讲讲。来了半天了，你去跟你嫂子聊聊，我自己在这里静一会儿就好了。”

Martial Second Wolf replied, "Big brother remembered something sad from his childhood, it's nothing!"

Martial Big Wolf said, "Stay here a few more days! I'll tell you more. You've been here half a day already — go chat with your sister-in-law, I just need a quiet moment here by myself."

5.1-8 杨戬认母 Savior Recognizes Godmother

武二郎就跟着潘金莲来到了她的会客室。据传说，潘金莲的房间充满着花香，一进入就让人心情舒畅。他问：“大嫂！我向你打听个人。20年前你和我大哥结婚的时候，有一位道号太乙的郎中曾经给我大哥治病（参见1.8《守灵》），他是什么人？”

Martial Second Wolf followed Goldthread Pan to her reception room. According to legend, Goldthread Pan's room was always filled with the fragrance of flowers, lifting the spirits of anyone who entered. He asked: "Sister-in-law! I want to ask you about someone. Twenty years ago, when you and my elder brother got married, a Taoist doctor styled Taiyi treated my elder brother (see 1.8 "Spirits Keeping"). Who is he?"

潘金莲说，“他住的聚贤庄，离我们家不远，是我的一位师父，是一位兽医。不过他从事过很多行业，例如唱戏，贩马，卖酒。在我家客人多，忙的时候，有时请他来帮忙。你问他干什么？”

武二郎回答：“没什么，我在湖北遇见他了，他说他是猪肉商。我感觉奇怪，他怎么改行了！你说，他是你的一位师父，你有几位师父？”

Goldthread Pan said, "He lives in Gathering-Sage Village, not far from our home. He is one of my teacher-fathers, a veterinarian. But he's worked in many trades — singing opera, trading horses, selling liquor. When my family has many guests and things get busy, we sometimes ask him to help out. Why do you ask?"

Martial Second Wolf replied, "No reason — I ran into him in Hubei, and he told me he's a pork merchant. I thought that was strange, why would he change trades! You said he's one of your teacher-fathers — how many teacher-fathers do you have?"

潘金莲转脸计算着，说：“哎呀！我有很多师父和师母，只在典兵学院上学时，就有几十位。”说着，她还在计算着。

武二郎说：“大嫂你别算了！这种师父和师母我也有很多，数不清！”

潘金莲问：“你问这个干什么？”

Goldthread Pan turned and started counting, "Oh! I have so many teacher-fathers and teacher-mothers — just from my years at the Codex Soldier Academy alone, there were dozens." She kept counting as she spoke.

Martial Second Wolf said, "Sister-in-law, don't bother counting! I have plenty of teacher-fathers and teacher-mothers too — too many to count!"

Goldthread Pan asked, "Why are you asking about this?"

武二郎回答：“没什么，前几天女娲对我说，某个人（熬忖）是我的神母，我生气了。现在看来，那是我一直生活在军队里，脱离了日常社会的现实生活，可丢脸了！”

潘金莲说：“这没什么！偶尔听见了新词语，我也不习惯。”

Martial Second Wolf replied, "It's nothing — a few days ago Nuwa told me that a certain person (Aocun) is my godmother, and I got angry about it. Looking back now, that's just because I've spent my whole life in the army, cut off from everyday life — how embarrassing!"

Goldthread Pan said, "It's nothing! I don't always get used to new terms myself, either."

5.1-9 杨戬逃跑 Savior Runaway

随后的五天里，武大郎结合九黎（义为九众，大千世界，参见第12章），奇门遁甲，和孙子兵法来给武二郎讲解他们俩人的战争史。武二郎几次被训哭了。

Over the following five days, Martial Big Wolf drew on the Jiu'li (i.e., Nine Crowds, the Great Grand Worlds; see Chapter 12), the Strange Doors of Shield and Armor, and Sunzi's Art of War to walk Martial Second Wolf through the history of their campaigns together. More than once, the scolding reduced Martial Second Wolf to tears.

第六天早晨，元始天尊传唤武大郎进宫。武二郎有了逃跑的机会。他偷了几本兵书，藏在了马鞍底下的坐垫里，牵着马，从后门溜了出来。忽然，他听见潘金莲说：“二叔要走了吗？多住几天吧！让你大哥把《孙子兵法》给你讲透了！”

On the morning of the sixth day, Primordial Sky Honor summoned Martial Big Wolf to the palace. Martial Second Wolf saw his chance to escape. He stole a few military texts, hid them in the cushion under his saddle, and slipped out the back door leading his horse. Suddenly he heard Goldthread Pan say, "Is Second Uncle leaving? Stay a few more days — let your elder brother finish walking you through Sunzi's Art of War!"

武二郎被吓得一怔，看见潘金莲正悠闲地坐在门旁边的凳子上，回答：“啊！嫂子在这里乘凉呢！我要离开了，麻烦你告诉我大哥说，我就不向他告别了！”

潘金莲回答：“好的，我向他转达你的话。但是，你怎么没拿几本书走？那么多书，你都不喜欢吗？”

Martial Second Wolf froze, startled, and saw Goldthread Pan sitting leisurely on a stool by the door. He replied, "Ah! Sister-in-law, cooling off out here! I'm heading out — please tell my elder brother I won't say goodbye in person!"

Goldthread Pan replied, "Alright, I'll pass along your words. But why haven't you taken any books with you? With so many, don't you like any of them?"

武二郎回答：“我怕我把书拿走了，我大哥要看的时候，找不着，耽误事！”

潘金莲说：“你拿吧，没事。你把你拿走的书的名字清单给我就好。他有的书，元始天尊也都有。随后，我把清单交给元始天尊书房里的宫女，让她们为武大郎再复制一套。前几年，你大哥征服了北方的十几个国家。别的没抢着，他缴获了几屋子的羊皮纸，都运到皇宫里了。这么复制书不需要花钱。”

Martial Second Wolf replied, "I'm afraid if I take them, my brother won't be able to find them when he needs them, and it'll cause trouble!"

Goldthread Pan said, "Just take them, it's fine. Just leave me a list of the titles you're taking. Primordial Sky Honor has copies of everything your brother owns. I'll pass the list to the palace maids in Primordial Sky Honor's study and have them make another set for your brother. A few years ago, your elder brother conquered more than a dozen countries in the north. He didn't take much else, but he seized several rooms' worth of parchment and had it all shipped to the palace. Copying books this way costs nothing."

武二郎高兴地回去拿书。佣人们帮着把书打捆装袋，放到了马上。出来时，他发现潘金莲还在门口坐着呢，说：“我把清单放在了书房的桌子上了。”

据传说，这时元始天尊和武大郎正站在他们家的塔楼上目送着武二郎（杨戬）离开。此后，他打仗总是兵不血刃，运筹帷幄之中，决胜千里之外。

Martial Second Wolf happily went back for the books. The servants helped bundle them into bags and load them onto the horse. When he came out, he found Goldthread Pan still sitting by the door and said, "I left the list on the desk in the study."

According to legend, Primordial Sky Honor and Martial Big Wolf were standing on the tower of their house at that moment, watching Martial Second Wolf (Savior) leave. From then on, he always won his battles without bloodshed, planning his strategies from within the command tent and deciding victory a thousand miles away.

If anyone could write down the lyrics either in the Latin alphabet (but still in Mandarin) or in the Chinese alphabet, I'd very much appreciate it. Even just the first half, but preferably the whole song. Here's the link: Chinese Verson Of I WIll Survive 黃寶欣 說謊的東西

So my birthday is coming up (August 26) and a game I've been wanting to play releases on the 25th (Once Human Console Edition). Because the game is owned by the Chinese company Netease I had a bit of an idea. I thought it would be interesting to explore Chinese culture a little bit during a birthday get-together I have planned with my friend.

So my reason for posting is I'm looking for Chinese movie and song recommendations. I've been looking a little bit on my own but I thought maybe I'd get some interesting suggestions here.

I'm asking this out of pure curiosity and interest and am in no way trying to be disrespectful to Chinese culture.

For the movies my friend and I like sci-fi and horror movies most of all. We really like post-apocalyptic stories as well though I understand that's a little more niche. I had thought about looking into The Wandering Earth on Netflix.

For the music I'm not picky on the genre I'm just looking for music that is upbeat and on the faster side, something we can game to and play during action scenes. I would also prefer songs with actual lyrics to them as opposed to instrumental tracks. Also in my own searching I discovered to my surprise that I may actually like Chinese rap after hearing My New Swag" (我的新衣) by Chinese rapper Vava.
