The alley Ping-Khang, situated in the street Kiao, was the place where dwelt the great courtesans of the dynasty of Thang! Did she not sing the songs of Kao-pien?
The root, with its three shoots, Could make no progress, no growth . The nine regions were effectually secured by Thang. By 'the root' we are to understand Thang's chief opponent, Kieh, the last king of Hsia. The concluding lines indicate that the temple was made on the occasion which I thus assign to it.
Boldly he entered its dangerous passes, And brought the multitudes of King together, Till the country was reduced under complete restraint: Such was the fitting achievement of the descendant of Thang! The Ti Kiang, or Kiang of Ti, still existed in the time of the Han dynasty, occupying portions of the present Kan-su.
We cannot tell by which of the kings of Shang the sacrifice here referred to was first performed. He is simply spoken of as 'a descendant of Thang. The ode seems to have been composed by some one, probably a member of the royal House, who had taken part in the service. How admirable! how complete! Here are set our hand-drums and drums.
The information may not appear tremendous to those unacquainted with the source of jewelry; but when I say that the only thief employed by any West-end jeweller since famous Thangobrind's distressing doom is this same Neepy Thang, and that for lightness of fingers and swiftness of stockinged foot they have none better in Paris, it will be understood why the Bond Street jewellers no longer cared what became of their old stock.
It seems that it was too late or a prayer too small to placate them, for there and then the stroke of midwinter came and the eggs hatched out in the roar of Shiroora Shan or ever the bird was gone with her difficult eye and it was a bad business indeed for Neepy Thang; I haven't the heart to tell you any more. "'Ere," said Lord Castlenorman some few weeks later to Messrs.
But the emeralds in stock were mostly small and shop-soiled and Neepy Thang had to set out at once before he had had as much as a week in London. I will briefly sketch his project. On the shores of the risky seas of Shiroora Shan grows one tree only so that upon its branches if anywhere in the world there must build its nest the Bird of the Difficult Eye.
And the themes they selected were always the most difficult, those of the poets of the Thang dynasty; the songs they sang were also the songs of five hundred years before, the songs of Youen-tchin, of Thou-mou, of Kao-pien above all, high poet and ruler of the province of Sze-tchouen.
"The Line of Thang," he remarked with inoffensive pride, "has for seven generations been identified with a high standard of literary achievement.
In order to improve their personal character, they endeavoured to purify their hearts and to make their thoughts sincere. To know this has been called knowing the "root," which is the perfection of knowledge. On Thang's bathing-tub these words were inscribed: "Renovate thyself day by day, yea, every day renovate thyself." At the opening of his reign, Thang was exhorted to renovate his people.
