Wandering around the rivers and lakes, searching for treasures in the desert. When you wind a tightrope with your fingers, one third is capable and the other half courageous; the tongue is as bright as a lotus flower, and regardless of feelings, one only talks about gold. Wisdom turns the world around, cleverly plays with the princes in the palm of his hand; turns wind into rain, and wears a plain robe dyed with lead. He is said to be ruthless, and he would rather give up all his money than to conceal his sincerity; he is praised for his cleverness, and it is hard to find him as soon as he enters the imperial city.
