第二十九回第二十九回Chapter Twenty-Nine

Tap Both to see the Chinese beside it

人熊馱韓清過嶺仙子傳竇氏玄機

人熊驮韩清过岭仙子传窦氏玄机

Chapter Twenty-Nine · The Story of Han Xiangzi

A man-bear carries Han Qing over the mountains;An immortal maiden imparts the mysteries to Lady Dou

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: on a narrow ledge climbing a sheer cliff above a misty chasm, a large shaggy bear walks upright with a frightened young man clinging to its back and shoulders, its mouth open as if grunting.

人人本有長生藥,自只迷徒枉棄拋。

人人本有长生药,自只迷徒枉弃抛。

Everyone is born with the medicine of long life;it is only the deluded who throw it away in vain.

甘露降時天地合,萌芽生處坎離交。

甘露降时天地合,萌芽生处坎离交。

When sweet dew falls, Heaven and Earth unite;where the sprouts spring up, kan and li are joined.

井蛙應謂無龍窟,籬爭如有鳳巢。

井蛙应谓无龙窟,篱争如有凤巢。

The frog in the well would say there is no dragon’s lair;how would the quail in the hedge know there are phoenix nests?
