Nine Songs 九歌
The royal prince comes down to the northern shore; his distant gaze fills me with sorrow. The autumn wind sighs softly, waves stir on Lake Dongting, and leaves fall from the trees. As fallen leaves rustled in the wind, Lord Xinyang, Ping Yi, returned from Youhuang Mountain. The new ruler of the Chu Kingdom, Zi Dun, came out of the city in person to welcome him. After his uncle had paid him the formal obeisance due a ruler, Zi Dun straightened his robes and bowed to him with the courtesy owed be

Green Robe 绿衣
The morning light was clear and lovely. The river ran deep and wide, and its waters teemed with brilliantly colored carp weaving through the wavering shadows of reeds. The pale purple glow of dawn had yet to fade from the horizon, and a few streaks of rosy cloud were reflected in the water. The boat carrying the princess appeared little by little between sky and river, as though drifting in from beyond the heavens. The king had already prepared a ceremonial chariot and was waiting on the riverb

Princess Luyuan 鲁元公主
She is a princess born of humble origins, with a roguish, dissolute father and a tough, ruthless mother. Yet she remains unaffected by them, “dignified and reserved, virtuous and graceful.” The man she falls in love with at first sight is handsome and elegant, with refined features and graceful bearing, his spirit as pure as ice and jade. She gets her wish and marries him; they live in perfect harmony, and their love deepens with each passing day. But happiness does not last. After the gentle wa

Lingering Romance on the Chang'an Football Field 长安球场上的风月残痕
Li Xian, Prince Zhanghuai of Tang, who shared my love of polo. He's my favorite Tang prince: elegant in manner, exceptionally bright from a young age, with a mind like a computer and a gift for remembering everything he read. When he was only a few years old, he already loved the line from the Analects, “Prize virtue above beauty,” and recited it again and again. Scholars throughout the ages have come up with five interpretations of that line, and to this day I still can't tell which one is corr

Old Football Tales of the Three Carriages of Bianjing 汴京三驾马车的足坛旧事
Back then, the "Three Chariots of Bianjing," Wang Shen, Gao Qiu, and Zhao Ji, were not only as skilled at their respective ball games as Brazil's national team players today, they were just as adept at "enjoying life." The difference was that they did it with more refinement and a more aristocratic flair than Brazilian players. Their goal was not merely to indulge their desires, but to treat these pursuits as an art of enjoyment, giving an exquisite form to the idea that "indulgence in pleasure

Pitch-Pot All Day, Laughing Without a Care 尽日投壶笑未回
Unable to figure it out, I almost wanted to rewrite the whole novel and let the heroine enjoy the same kind of bliss with multiple partners as Xiang Shaolong. To describe it, I borrowed the life ambition my online friend, Lion Wen MM, wrote in her profile: “Rongruo on my left, Dongpo on my right, Brother Yue standing in front of me, and Li Bai singing love songs behind me.” Intent:

A Glance, Flying Over the Water Swing 瞥然飞过水秋千
I love watching the diving competitions at major sporting events. Diving moves are graceful, the technical skill is impressive, and it's a pleasure to watch. Most importantly, our athletes have a clear advantage in this sport: China is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to winning diving gold medals. China has a long history in the sport. I haven't looked into where modern diving originated, but I do know that people in ancient China were doing something like it long ago. There are many theor

One Arrow Sends Two Flying Wings Down 一箭正坠双飞翼
In ancient times, women could also learn horseback riding and archery, especially women at court. Emperors often encouraged palace maids and consorts to learn them, treating riding and archery as entertainment just as important as dancing. This custom flourished most in the Tang dynasty, when women faced the fewest restrictions. The court and aristocracy organized numerous women's soccer and polo teams, and women's cavalry units were a regular fixture. Du Fu depicted palace women riding and shoo

A Chessboard Rising on the Jade Terrace 琼台涌起弹棋局
Cao Zhi walked over to Cao Pi’s flicking chessboard and exposed the secret of Cao Pi’s love for Zhen Mi in a single sentence. Cao Pi’s hand trembled, and the piece he flicked got stuck halfway across the board. Cao Zhi smiled. He openly declared that Zhen Mi and he were in love with each other and urged Cao Pi to give up, all while calmly flicking his own piece. It sailed past one obstacle after another and rolled straight into the goal on Cao Pi’s side. Cao Pi regained his composure and declare

Golf in the Late Northern Song 北宋末年的高尔夫
Which country invented golf? This question often leaves the French, Dutch, and Scots arguing until they are hoarse and at each other's throats. The English, watching from the sidelines and thinking it had nothing to do with them, finally couldn't sit still either. They couldn't resist joining the debate and stirring things up. In 1993, a British news agency published an article declaring: Everyone, shut up! Golf had already appeared in China as early as 1282, the nineteenth year of the Zhiyuan e
