You have nothing for them to steal; why throw yourself over the precipice, exposing yourself to certain death?" Miao Shan saw that he was weeping, and wept too. "I must comply with the wish of Heaven," she said. The Transformation of Shan Ts'ai Shan Ts'ai, inconsolable, prayed Heaven and earth to save his protectress.
P'an Kuan, the keeper of the Register of the Living and the Dead, presented a memorial to Yen Wang stating that since Miao Shan's arrival there was no more pain in Hell; and all the condemned were beside themselves with happiness.
Straits Settlements and China Proper compared. China's aspect of her own position. Renaissance of Chinese military power. Europeans NOT wanted in the Empire. Emptiness of the lives of the common people. Author erects a printing machine in Inland China. National conceit. Differences in make-up of the Hua Miao and the Han Ren. The Hua Miao and what they are doing. Emancipation of their women.
I have been told that your power is equalled only by your goodness, so I have ventured to come to pray you to show me how to attain to perfection." "My only fear," replied Miao Shan, "is that your desire for perfection may not be sincere." "I have now no parents," the priest continued, "and I have come more than a thousand li to find you. How can I be wanting in sincerity?"
"So when one gets in a place like this of yours, one must naturally look down upon every thing in the way of gold, pearls, jade and precious stones, as coarse rubbish!" This sentiment highly delighted Miao Yue.
Pao-yue understood that it must be because old goody Liu had drunk out of it that she considered it too dirty to keep. He then saw Miao Yue produce two other cups. The one had an ear on the side. On the bowl itself were engraved in three characters: 'calabash cup, in the plain 'square' writing.
The Miao people being so low down in the intellectual scale, and having never been accustomed to study, it was felt by the promoters of the written language that they should be as simple as possible, and hence they looked about for some system which could be readily grasped by these ignorant people. It was necessary that the system be absolutely phonetic and understood easily.
This place is not suitable for your devotional exercises; I invite you to come to Hsiang Shan." Miao Shan threw herself on her knees and said: "My bodily eyes deceived me. I never thought that your Majesty would come to a place like this. Pardon my seeming want of respect. Where is this Hsiang Shan?" "Hsiang Shan is a very old monastery," Ju Lai replied, "built in the earliest historical times.
After these, followed a row of small characters in the 'true' style, to the effect that the cup had been an article much treasured by Wang K'ai. Next came a second row of small characters stating: 'that in the course of the fourth moon of the fifth year of Yuan Feng, of the Sung dynasty, Su Shih of Mei Shan had seen it in the 'Secret' palace. This cup, Miao Yue filled, and handed to Pao-ch'ai.
He says that the words given by him will not be found to correspond in every case with those in the Miao vocabulary in the pocket of the cover of his book, and some have been taken from other Miao dialects!. However, the comparison will be interesting: The Miao language was until a year or two ago only spoken; it was never written, and no one ever dreamed that it could be written.
