内容注記 | Appropriate door fits the frame of the correct house Converting iron into gold Inseparable as each other's shadows Surpassing loveliness good enough to feast upon Episode of a spring dream Family ugliness should never be aired in public Climbing a tree to seek for fish Extend the same treatment to all Inspired scholar in an enchanting land Each day passes like a year Original ideas in literary composition Same bed, different dreams Is anything impossible? One lute, one crane Fish swimming in a cauldron One horse, single spear Marry a chicken, follow a chicken You plant melons, you reap melons Hearts reduced to ashes Scales and shells in the belly Heaven-made union Besieged by hostile forces on all sides Coarse tea and plain rice While drinking water, remember the source Sever this kinship with one whack of the knife Creating waves without wind Near vermilion, one gets stained red; near ink, one gets stained black You: Wine and meat friends Headless and clueless case Opened the door to salute the thief Steal the bell while covering your ears Falling leaves return to their roots Index
