==Chen Cheng 陈诚 - Economy: Chinese Currency Changes==
China's currency not only has a long history, but also a wide variety, creating a unique currency culture.
China's earliest currency was sea shells. By the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, shell coins had completely receded from the historical stage.
The pre-Qin period was an important period in the occurrence and development of Chinese currency. With the expansion and refinement of the division of labour and the development of the commodity economy, primitive money began to appear in the late New Age, acting as a medium of exchange for goods; after that, it entered an era when primitive money, metal-weighed money and minted coins were used together.

'''Chinese Paper Cutting'''

Chinese paper-cutting is a folk art of cutting patterns on paper with scissors or carving knives to decorate life or to complement other folk activities. In China, paper-cutting has a wide popular base and is interwoven into the social life of people of all ethnic groups, and is an important part of various folklore activities. Its visual images and stylised formats, which continue to be passed down, contain rich cultural and historical information, express the social perceptions, moral concepts, practical experiences, life ideals and aesthetic interests of the general public, and have multiple social values such as cognition, edification, expression, expression, entertainment and communication.

'''Origin'''

Paper was invented in the Western Han Dynasty, and the art of paper-cutting could not have existed before then, but the use of thin sheets of material to make crafts through the technique of hollowing and carving was popular long before paper appeared. The earliest paper cuttings found in China are five paper cuttings of flowers from the Northern Dynasties (386-581 AD), unearthed near the Flaming Mountains in Turpan, Xinjiang.

During the Tang Dynasty, paper-cutting was already in a period of great development, and folklore also made use of paper-cutting in the form of funnel printing plates, where people carved thick paper into flower plates and funneled dyes onto cloth to form beautiful patterns.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, there were already artists who cut paper as a profession. The maturity of the paper-making industry in the Song dynasty, with its wide range of paper products, provided the conditions for the popularity of paper-cutting. For example, they were used as gifts, as window flowers, or as decorations for lanterns and tealights.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the art of paper-cutting matured and reached its heyday. Although the art of paper-cutting came from the folk, it became a universal art in the Qing Dynasty.

In the early twentieth century, the May Fourth New Culture Movement, advocated by advanced intellectuals such as Cai Yuanpei, Lu Xun, Liu Hannong and Zhou Zuoren, established the beginnings of Chinese folklore studies. In the 1930s, the artist Chen Zhinong began his research and creation of folkloric paper cutouts in Beijing. He used sketches and silhouettes to depict a large number of customs and folklore in old Beijing, including street vendors, workshops and artisans, food stalls and tea stalls, fairs and temples, and idle people in the marketplace.

In the 1940s, paper cut-outs based on real-life themes began to appear, and in 1944, for the first time, new folk paper cut-outs from the north-west were exhibited in the Shaanxi-Ganjiang-Ningxia border area, kicking off the development of paper-cutting art after the founding of New China. It can be said that paper-cutting in Yan'an ushered in a new era of paper-cutting in China.

After the founding of New China, under the guidance of the literary and artistic policy of "blossoming of a hundred flowers, pushing out new ideas", artists created a large number of new paper cuts expressing new socialist ideas and events, opening up the path of paper cutting creation and enriching the form and content of Chinese folk decorative arts. In addition to paper cutouts expressing the new weather in all walks of life, children, sports, acrobatics, songs and dances have also become the most common subjects for paper cutting.

Since its inception, the art of paper-cutting has been uninterrupted throughout Chinese history. It is one of the richest art forms in Chinese folk history and culture, as it has been incorporated into various folklore activities.

'''Classification'''

1. Monochrome Paper Cuttings
Monochrome paper-cutting is the most basic form of paper-cutting, cut in various colours such as red, green, brown, black and gold, and is mainly used for window decorations and embroidery base patterns. It is mainly used for window decorations and embroidery base patterns. Paper cuttings used for embroidery base patterns are often combined with cut-and-stab techniques. The stabbing is done by using the point of a needle to make small dots in the fine details of the pattern, leaving a 'hidden knife' in some parts, which can be used as a basis for changing stitches when embroidering. Folding paper cuts, silhouettes and torn paper are all forms of monochrome paper cutting.

 Folding Paper-Cutting
Folding paper-cutting is one of the most common methods of folk expression. The so-called folding papercut is a papercut made by folding and cutting in different ways. Folding paper cuttings are simple, easy to make, labor-saving and time-saving, shape general and certain deformation, especially suitable for the performance of structural symmetry of the form and symmetrical pattern, such as people, frogs, butterflies, turtles, reflections, fish, etc., geometric patterns, flowers, scenery, utensils and other subjects can be adapted, and unfolded extremely symmetrical, and can change a variety of suitable shape, two-party continuous, four-party continuous or multi-party continuous, which is it can long be This is one of the main reasons for its longevity, and it has played an important role in the popularisation of paper-cutting and the modelling of craft patterns in China.

 the Silhouette
The silhouette is an ancient form of paper-cutting art, which expresses the shape of people and objects through their outer contours, so it focuses most on the beauty and shape of the outer contours. The tools are mainly scissors and a carving knife, and the paper is usually black or heavy-coloured paper. When expressing the silhouette of a figure, it is usually cut while looking at the object. Silhouettes are well suited to showing translucent effects and are a very distinctive type of paper cutting.

 Three, torn paper
Torn paper is a new type of paper cut out from the traditional folklore. The method is to use different types of paper, using the method of tearing by hand to tear the shape, by hand instead of cutting will naturally be very limited, not suitable to show the effect of delicate work, but it is this limitation, but also shows its unique artistic personality, there is a kind of ancient and elegant simple, bold and majestic tone. In the process of tearing paper there is often a kind of randomness, a natural and natural flavour.

2. Colourful paper-cutting
With the exploration and development of paper-cutting expression, the form and technique of colour paper-cutting is gradually increasing, with dot-dyeing, overlaying, colour separation, colour filling, wood printing, spray painting, outlining and colour weaving. Each form has its own characteristics and unique features: dot-dye paper cuttings nourishing, decorative strong; set of colour paper cuttings crisp, bright colour blocks; colour paper cuttings divided into distinctive, colourful; colour paper cuttings are simple, clean, sharp, all give people a different feeling.

3. Three-dimensional paper-cutting
The three-dimensional paper cut-out can be monochrome or coloured. It uses a combination of painting, cutting, folding, gluing and other techniques to produce a new type of paper-cutting close to sculpture, relief, which draws on the skills of modern art, fully embodies the characteristics of realism and art romance, so that paper-cutting from a flat sense into three-dimensional, can be used for ornamental modelling and children's handicrafts [12].

'''Methods and techniques'''

1. Folding
Folding paper to produce a repetitive pattern is one of the most basic paper-cutting techniques, and is also an expressive technique used in monochrome paper-cutting. The different effects it produces depend on the number and angle of the folds. When using this technique to cut flowers, the paper can be folded twice or three times before cutting, and the resulting pattern is a four-sided or six-sided flush shape. If you are cutting animals or people, the shape after folding once is symmetrical. The folding paper cut is a symmetrical pattern, so the resulting pattern has a more rhythmic feel. This technique is mostly used for cutting flowers and topiary flowers, etc.

2. Yin and Yang carving
The basic effect of paper cutting is obtained through the use of yin and yang lines alone or in a mixture.
Yin engraving, also known as engraving, is to carve away the outline of the structure of the object, the method of expressing lines in a large block, the effect is thick, strong, a strong sense of weight, a strong sense of black and white contrast, was cut to carve away the blank composition of the pattern, line and line are not connected.
Yang engraving, also known as hollowing, is the exact opposite of shading, where the blanks are removed and the outline lines are retained. The lines of the pattern are solid, and the lines are connected. This method is smooth, clear and lusciously detailed.
The combination of yin and yang is the best way to express paper cutting. The presence of both yin and yang carving methods in the same piece of work makes for a varied composition and a sharp contrast between black, white and grey in the picture, making it a highly expressive paper-cutting technique.

3. Three, piercing holes
The basic outline is cut out on the paper with a knife or scissors, and then holes are pierced in the pattern with a needle, mainly to allow multiple layers of paper to be joined, while at the same time seeing the detail in the roughness. This technique is often used to embroider patterns, sometimes symmetrical, such as pillow flowers, shoe flowers, sleeve flowers, etc. When two to four of the same pattern are needed, the paper is cut and pierced with Xuan paper, and when it is unglued, there are several of the same pattern at the same time. The reason for using Xuan paper is that it is easy to adhere and thin enough to be used underneath for embroidery without affecting the aesthetic appeal. A quick and easy alternative to stapling is to use staples and staples, which also have the effect of joining multiple layers of paper.

'''Significance of content'''

Folk paper-cutting is good at combining a variety of objects together to produce the desired result. Whether one or more images are used in combination, they are all modelled by "using the image to imply meaning" or "using the meaning to construct the image", rather than according to objective natural forms. The artist is also apt to use similes to create a variety of auspicious objects, combining conventional images to express his own psychology. The pursuit of auspicious metaphors became one of the ultimate aims of the imagery combinations. Geographical isolation and cultural limitations, as well as the intrusion of adversity such as natural disasters, inspired a desire for a happy and fulfilling life. People's simple wish for good food and clothing, prosperity, health and longevity, and for everything to be as it should be, is conveyed through paper-cutting.
There are many images reflecting productive life in folk paper-cutting, and one of the greatest similarities between these works is the exaggeration of the subject, such as a big fish, a big pepper, a big silkworm, a big grain, etc. Through paper-cutting, people make up beautiful images to comfort their hearts, to promote the great creativity of man in conquering nature, to build their ideal world, and to affirm the power of man and inspire the courage to continue the struggle

'''The Definition of Yuan Drama'''

Yuan drama is a wonderful flower in the splendid cultural treasure-house of the Chinese nation, which embodies unique characteristics in ideological content and artistic achievements. Tang and Song poetry and Yuan drama have become three important milestones of the history of Chinese literature. 　　

The Yuan Dynasty was the heyday of the Yuan drama. Generally speaking, poetic drama(杂剧) and non-dramatic song(散曲) are collectively called Yuan drama, and both use north drama as a singing form. Non-dramatic song is the main body of Yuan Dynasty literature. However, the achievements and influence of poetic drama far exceed that of non-dramatic song,so some people refer to Yuan drama singlely as "poetic drama", which is also "yuan dynasty opera".[1]

'''The Rise and development of Yuan Drama'''

Reasons of rise
The rise and development of Yuan drama has complex reasons. First of all, the fundation of the previous society was the basis for the rise of the Yuanqu.The vast territory of the Yuan Dynasty, the prosperity of the city economy, the grand theater, the active book club and the countless audience laid the foundation for the rise of the Yuanqu; Secondly, the cultures of various ethnic groups in Yuan Dynasty exchanged and melted with each other, promoting the formation of Yuan drama; Third, Yuan drama isthe inevitable result of the inheritance and development of the literary tradition and the inherent law of poetry itself.

Development of Yuan drama
The development of Yuan drama can be divided into three periods.
Early period: The duriation between the founding of Yuan Dynasty and the destruction of Southern Song Dynasty. During this period, Yuan drama had just entered the poetry world from folk colloquial slang, and had distinct colloquial characteristics and a cheerful, simple and natural sentiment.Most of the authors in that period are northerners, among whom Guan Hanqing, Ma Zhiyuan, Wang Shifu, Wang Xiaojun and Bai Pu had the highest achievements.
Middle period: from Zhiyuan period to post-Zhiyuan period. The creation of Yuan darama in this period began to make a comprehensive transition to literalization and specialization. Non-dramatic song became the main genre of poetry. Important writers include Zheng Guangzu, Sui Jingchen, Qiao Ji, Zhang Kejiu and so on.
End: From Zhizheng period to the end of Yuan Dynasty. At this time, the composers of non-dramatic song were specialized in composing. They paid attention to the rhythm of words, deliberately seeking work in art and advocating elegance and delicacy, elegance and beauty. The represented writers are Zhang Yanghao and Xu Zaisi. [2]

'''Yuan Drama System'''

The system of Yuan drama is embodied in the following six aspects.

1.Temple(宫调): Temple refers to the mode of ancient Chinese music, the tune and temple are from court banquet music of Sui and Tang Dynasty.The north and south drama commonly used are five temples and four tones, including Zheng Gong(正宫), Zhonglu Gong(中吕宫), Nanlu Gong(南吕宫), Xianlu Gong(仙吕宫), Huangzhong Gong(黄钟宫) (five temples)(五宫), Damian tone(大面调), Double tone(双调), Shang tone(商调),Yue tone(越调) (four tones)(四调), each temple and tune has its own style. The number of opera sets and non-dramatic song sets in the yuanqu is formed by connecting two different song cards in the same palace key.

2.Qupai(曲牌): Commonly known as "Quzi", is a general name for various tunes, each with a special name, such as "Dot the red lip"(点绛唇), "Shan Po Yang"(山坡羊), etc. The total number is numerous, and there are 335 North Drama in Yuan Dynasty,each of which has a certain tune and singing method, and also stipulates the number of words, syntax, and pingshu of the song. According to this, people can fill in the new song lyrics, most of the song cards are from the folk, some of them are developed from the words, so Qupai is also the same as Cipai, but the content is not completely consistent. In addition, there are specially played Qupai, but most of them only have tunes and no lyrics.

3.Rhyme(曲韵): Yuan drama strictly abides by the requirements of the nineteen parts of the "Central China phonology" in terms of rhyme and divides it into flat, up, and go, and has the following characteristics in rhyme: flat rhyme, not avoiding heavy rhyme. It usually uses one rhyme to the end, borrowing rhyme, dark rhyme, redundant rhyme, and losing rhyme.

4.Level and oblique tones(平仄):Qu is more strict in the use of words than in Ci poetry, and pays special attention to the flatness of each last sentence.

5.Antithesis(对仗）：The Antithesis of Qu is relatively free, , that means it can use level tone to paralle with oblique tone, and level tone to parallel with level tone. There are thirteen kinds of confrontation forms of qu, such as "two-word pair"(两字对), "end-to-end pair"(首尾对), "serif pair"(衬字对), etc. and there are many characteristics in the use of language and word order combination, mainly manifested in that there are Gong Dui(a neat antithesis) and Kuan Dui(an untidy antithesis), but the phenomenon of Kuan Dui is more common; The sentence is self-contained,such as "loyal subjects are not afraid of death, afraid of death are not disloyal subjects".

==Li Wanying 李婉莹 - Music and instruments: Erhu==
Music and Instruments:Erhu

1.A Brief Introduction
The erhu is a Chinese two-stringed bowed musical instrument. It is used as a solo instrument as well as in small ensembles and large orchestras. It is one of the main bowed string instruments in the Chinese musical family used by various ethnic groups of China. The first Chinese character of the name of the instrument (二, èr, two) is believed to come from the fact that it has two strings. An alternate explanation states that it comes from the fact that it is the second highest huqin in pitch to the gaohu（高胡） in the modern Chinese orchestra. The second character (胡, hú) indicates that it is a member of the Huqin family, with Hu commonly meaning barbarians. The name Huqin literally means "instrument of the Hu peoples", suggesting that the instrument may have originated from regions to the north or west of China generally inhabited by nomadic people on the extremities of past Chinese kingdoms.

2.The Development of Erhu
The Erhu, with a history more than one thousand years, originated from an ethnic minority in northeast China during the Tang Dynasty. And at that time, Erhu was called as Xiqin.
During the Song Dynasty, it was called as Jiqin and had achieved a high level of performance according to scholar Shen Kuo, it is said that a minister Xu Yan’s had finished his playing with one of the string broken in front of the emperor and other ministers.
During the Yuan Dynasty, people could accurately illustrate the principle of making a huqin, which pave the way for its further development.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasty, Huqin became a main accompaniment instrument for opera which began prevailing.
During Chinese modern times, the instrument was called as Erhu, and its performance has reached a very high level after more than half a century of development and spread. During this period, Liu Tianhua（刘天华） was the one who created Erhu’s new era and was seen as the father of the modern Erhu school. He assured five positions and created the vibrato(huaxian) technique, which expanded Erhu’s register, enriched its expression and made it sound more soft and smooth. He also departed it from accompaniments which laid the foundation for Erhu to enter the hall of elegance.
After the founding of New China, ethnic and folk music developed rapidly. In order to vigorously explore the artistic treasures of folk artists, Hua Yanjun（华彦钧）, Liu Beimao（刘北茂） and other folk artists’ Erhu music was made into records, making the art of Erhu performance mushroom and develop rapidly.
In the 1950s and 1960s, a group of erhu educators and performers represented by Zhang Rui（张锐）, Zhang Shao（张韶） and Wang Yi （王乙）emerged successively. Under their influence, new erhu performers such as Min Huifen（闵惠芬） and Wang Guotong（王国潼） were cultivated. For example, Erhu composer Liu Wenjin's（刘文金） Great Wall Capriccio （《长城随想曲》）gave full play to the performance of the Erhu and deliberately innovated to make the Erhu glow with new vitality and splendor.

3.Construction

The Erhu consists of a long vertical stick-like neck, at the top of which are two big tuning pegs, and at the bottom is a small resonator body (sound box) which is covered with python skin on the front (playing) end. Two strings are attached from the pegs to the base, and a small loop of string (Qian Jin) placed around the neck and strings acting as a nut pulls the strings towards the skin, holding a minute wooden bridge in place.

The parts of the Erhu:
Qín tong (琴筒), sound box or resonator body; it is hexagonal (liu jiao, southern), octagonal (ba jiao, northern), or, less commonly, round.
Qín pí/She pí (琴皮/蛇皮), skin, made from python. The python skin gives the erhu its characteristic sound.
Qín gan (琴杆), neck.
Qín tou (琴头), top or tip of neck, usually a simple curve with a piece of bone or plastic on top, but is sometimes elaborately carved with a dragon's head.
Qín zhou (琴轴). tuning pegs, traditional wooden, or metal machine gear pegs
Qiān jin (千斤), nut, made from string, or, less commonly, a metal hook
Nèi xián (内弦), inside or inner string, usually tuned to D4, nearest to player
Wai xián (外弦), outside or outer string, usually tuned to A4
Qín ma (琴码), bridge, the medium in the vibration between the strings and the skin , made from wood
Qín Gong (琴弓), bow, has screw device to vary bow hair tension
Qín diàn (琴垫), pad, a piece of sponge, felt, or cloth placed between the strings and skin below the bridge to improve its sound
Qín tuō (琴托) – base, a piece of wood attached to the bottom of the qín tong to provide a smooth surface on which to rest on the leg

4.Playing Technique
(1)Tuning
The erhu is almost always tuned to the interval of a fifth. The inside string (nearest to player) is generally tuned to D4 and the outside string to A4. This is the same as the two middle strings of the violin.
(2)Position
The Erhu is played sitting down, with the sound box placed on the top of the left thigh and the neck held vertically, in the similar fashion as that of a cello or double bass player. However, performers of more recent years have played while standing up using a specially developed belt-clip.
(3)Right hand
The bow is held with an underhand grip. The bow hair is adjusted so it is slightly loose. The fingers of the right hand are used to push the hairs away from the stick in order to create tension in the hairs. The bow hair is placed in between the two strings and both sides of the bow hair are used to produce sound, the player pushes the bow away from the body when bowing the outside string, and pulls it inwards when bowing the inside string.
Aside from the bowing technique used for most pieces, the Erhu can be plucked, usually using the second finger of the right hand. This produces a dry, muted tone (if either of the open strings is plucked, the sound is somewhat more resonant) which is sometimes used in contemporary pieces.
(4)Left hand
The left hand alters the pitch of the strings by pressing on the string at the desired point. Being a fretless instrument, the player has fine control over tuning. Techniques include hua yin (slides滑音), rou xian (vibrato揉弦), and huan ba (changing positions换把).

5.Ten Chinese Erhu Classics

==Liu Qianyi 刘倩仪 - Traditional Cuisine: Tangyuan==
'''1.Introduction'''

Tangyuan, also known as Yuanxiao, is both a traditional Chinese dessert made from glutinous rice flour and a festive food during the Lantern Festival. Tangyuan is sticky, sweet and round in shape. It is made with glutinous rice flour as the skin and the filling is made of sesame, peanuts, red beans, and even fruits. In Chinese, the pronunciation of Tangyuan is similar to "tuanyuan", which has the meaning of reunion, happiness, togetherness and harmony in Chinese, expressing people's hope for a fulfilling and blissful life.

'''2.The origin of Tangyuan'''

Tangyuan was originally developed in the Song dynasty(960-1279) in Mingzhou (明州) (current Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province). It was also called Yuanxiao, the same name as the Lantern Festival (Yuanxiao Festival) in China.

The Winter Solstice is an important festival before the Chinese Lunar New Year. There was a saying in ancient China, “The Winter Solstice is as significant as the Spring Festival”, which shows that the ancient people paid much attention to this festival. Eating Tangyuan during the winter solstice is a traditional custom in Jiangnan (the region south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River), which symbolizes reunion with family members and good fortune. Eating Tangyuan on the winter solstice is also called “winter solstice dumpling”. There was a saying among the folks that "eating Tangyuan to grow one year older". People not only made them for themselves, but they also send them to relatives and friends to express blessings. During the festival, Chinese people also used Tangyuan as one of the sacrifices to show their respect to Heaven and their ancestors.

Historically, a number of different names were used to refer to Tangyuan. During the Yongle era of the Ming Dynasty, the name was officially settled as Yuanxiao (derived from the Yuanxiao Festival), which is usually used in northern China. “Yuanxiao” in Chinese means the first full moon night in the new year, so the festival has a remarkable meaning to people in China.

Regarding the relations between Tangyuan and Yuanxiao, there was a legend in South China. During the regime of Yuan Shikai (1912–1916), he hated the name Yuanxiao because it sounded identical to “remove Yuan” (“袁消”), in Chinese, and thus he gave orders to change the name to Tangyuan (soup balls). [1]

Nowadays, Tangyuan usually refers to the southern style, while Yuanxiao refers to the northern style.

'''3. Differences between Tangyuan and Yuanxiao'''

The fundamental difference lies in their making, fillings, cooking, and storage.
Yuanxiao has sweet and solid fillings and is served in a thick broth. The surface tends to be dry and soft and has a short shelf life. The process of making the dish begins with preparing the solid fillings that are then cut into small pieces. The filling is dipped into water then the dry glutinous rice flour repeatedly, until a round shape is achieved.
Tangyuan can be stuffed with a variety of soft fillings that are either sweet or salty, and is served in a thinner soup. The texture is smooth and glutinous, and can be stored frozen for a long time. Tangyuan is made by wrapping the soft filling in a glutinous rice "dough" and shaping it into a ball. The southern variation is served in a broth that changes depending on the filling. Daikon radish and fish cake broth is used for savory fillings, or tong sui, which is "sugar water," for sweeter options.[2]

'''4. Types of Tangyuan'''

There are many types of featured Tangyuan and Yuanxiao throughout China. Here are some of the most prestigious ones:

1)Ling Tangyuan of Chongqing

As his Tangyuan tasted so well that it soon became a popular snack of the town. Later, Mr. Lin worked with others to expand his business in Chongqing and opened branch restaurants in other cities like Chengdu, Kunming, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Nanning. Later he became a business tycoon. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, Mr. Lin vigorously funded the then government to fight against Japanese army. And his brand of Lin Tangyuan was renamed to Ling Tangyuan. Up to now, it has become one of the favorite snacks of the people in Chongqing.

2)Five-colored Tangyuan in Suzhou

Wumen Rice Noodle Restaurant in Suzhou serves its unique Tangyuan in five colors, which are stuffed with 5 kinds of fillings respectively, including pork, rose with lard, bean paste, sesame, and osmanthus flower with lard. The snack is both sweet and salty with the five colors: pink, green, golden, creamy and deep brown, which come from the natural ingredients like pumpkin, carrot, tea, wheat, etc.

3)4-flavor Tangyuan in Guangdong Province

The locals firstly boil or steam mung beans, red beans, candied white gourds, and taro roots respectively. Then peel them, add sugar, sesame, cooked lard and other seasonings to make four kinds of sweet fillings, and stuff them into the glutinous rice balls with different marks on the surface. Cook all the four types of Tangyuan in a pot of boiling water. When it is ready, every bowl will have 4 balls with different fillings. This style of Tangyuan originated in the late Qing Dynasty.

Modern Tangyuan fillngs can include chocolate, rose, matcha, and various fruit such as strawberry or durian. A single ingredient or any combination can be used for the filling. Savory fillings are made of crushed peanuts, minced meat, mushroom and cabbage.

'''6. Steps of making Tangyuan'''

Making Tangyuan is rather time-consuming, but the results are impressive.

First, mix black sesame powder with pork belly fat or lard and sugar, heat the mixture a little bit, and put it on the plate. Next, you add some hot or cold water to the glutinous rice flour to form a wet dough and slowly mix it evenly. Then cut the dough into small pieces of similar weight, use hands to roll these pieces into small balls. Then make a hole in the ball, insert the sesame fillings you prepare before and knead it into a ball again in your palm. These balls are then placed into the boiled water one by one. When they float on the soup, turn the flame down and continue to boil for about one minute. Finally, turn the heat off, transfer these lovely balls into a soup bowl and enjoy your delicious meal!

Introductions on Lion dance

The lion dance is a popular activity among Chinese people of all ethnic groups, and it is a must for festivals and gatherings. The lion dance is a symbol of good luck and good intentions of the people to get rid of disasters and seek good fortune.In May 2006, the Chinese lion dance was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list by the State Council.
The lion dance has a long history, and the existing lion dances are divided into two categories: cultural lion and martial lion. The martial lion has more difficult acrobatic performances, and the lion is vigorous and fierce, looking at the tiger; the cultural lion is naive and cute, with a lovely form, and mainly performs the lion's life and attitude; according to the different materials and methods of lion modeling, there are many different types of lion dances around the world, and they are very colorful.
The lion dance is usually played by two people, the former holding the lion head props on his head with both hands, playing the lion's head, and the latter leaning over, holding the former's waist with both hands, wearing lion skin decorated with linen, cloth and other materials, playing the lion's body. Two people combined into one large lion, called "Large lion”. There is also a person wearing a lion mask, wearing a fake lion skin, playing a small lion, called "Small lion". In front of the lion, there is a lion, holding a colorful embroidered ball that can be turned to tease, and the dance ball movements include rolling the ball, turning the ball, throwing the ball, shaking the ball and dozens of other kinds, and the lion then makes various dance movements. In some places, the lion dancer wears a big-headed mask and plays a big-headed monk, holding a big fan or even a big knife instead of a ball.
Schools of Lion Dance :With the continuous development of the lion dance movement, the art of lion dance has also been perfected, but because of the different customs in the north and south, the dance method is not the same, so the north and south has formed two major schools, namely the southern school and the northern school, also known as the southern lion and the northern lion. The northern lion's movements are light, mainly jumping and tumbling, with small gongs, drums,and cymbals, etc., mainly in the Central Plains and North China, with representative lions from Hebei, Anhui and Hunan. The southern lion, on the other hand, is a big and powerful lion with big gongs, drums, cymbals, etc. The drum music is majestic and inspiring, and is mainly popular in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia.

The Origin of Lions

Regarding the origin of the lion, scholars of all generations have concluded that the lion in the early Middle Kingdom came from the West. There is a large number of documents for evidence, including Jin Guopu’s "Mu Tianzi".It said: " The lion is also called mythical creature , produced by the Western region." The scholar Li Shizhen wrote in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": " The lion is out of the Western countries" From the research records of experts and scholars of the past generations, it is clear that China did not produce lions, scholars of the past generations After the study of the literature, It is thought that the lion was introduced from the West as a tribute in the Han Dynasty. Before the Han Dynasty, people do not know what it looks like. According to historical records, the lion was considered useless when it first entered the Middle Kingdom, and was not accepted because of its fierce appearance and habits. During the long history, due to various reasons, especially religious influence, people gradually accepted the lion and made it a mythical beast, together with the legendary dragon, phoenix, and qilin, known as the four spiritual beasts.The lion is known as the king of beasts, but China is generally not affected by lions, so the people have a sense of affinity to the lion, regard it as a symbol of power and good luck, and hope to use the lion's powerful image to drive away evil spirits.

The Origin and Legend of Lion Dance

Regarding the origin of lion dance in ancient China, ancient literature and analysis by scholars over the ages show that the origin of lion dance in China is also recognized from the Han Dynasty, but the exact date cannot be determined. Through research and historical analysis, the following statements are more plausible.
The first theory: Chinese lion dance originated from the Han Dynasty, and the lion was imported from foreign countries only after Zhang Sai's mission to the West during the reign of Emperor Wu. Whenever the Western ambassadors visited, he set up songs and dances to cheer, so those dancers put on masks dressed as birds and animals, but the Western ambassadors found that these birds and animals only lacked of lions, after asking, we knew that at that time China had not yet lions. Later.Later the western envoys sent a pair of lions to China, and the lion trainers performed lion training. This lion training performance may be the predecessor of the Chinese lion dance.

The second theory: the lion dance originated in the Three Kingdoms period and was popular in the North and South Dynasties. Meng Kang, a native of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, wrote in The Elephant Man : If today's play is like shrimp, the lion is also. The Northern Wei Yang From it we can know, the lion not only protects the law to ward off evil, and can guide the way for the Buddha. If we look at the form, this lion guiding its front, very similar to the current lion guide, already slightly with the form of dance.

The third theory: According to the earliest historical records, the account of the real "lion dance" should be The Book of Ning - Zong Yi Zhuan. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, in the 22nd year of Emperor Wujia's reign (445 A.D.), when the Nanning Army occupied Linyi, and Yi asked to be the leader. The soldiers were unable to resist, saying, "I have heard that the lion is a powerful lion, so I made its shape and fought against the elephant, and the elephant just ran in fear and were scattered. After that, the lion dance was performed in the military and slowly spread to the people, becoming the origin of the lion dance, but at that time it was not called the lion dance but the "Taiping music".According to records, the Taiping music and the modern lion dance are very similar.
There are also various stories and legends about the lion dance in ancient China.
One of the legends is that the "New Year" beast eats green. According to the legend, in ancient times, plague often occurred in China, so countless people died, but fortunately, every time the plague occurred, a divine beast appeared, and the plague disappeared as soon as it appeared. Since this beast "Nian" is so helpful to people, people use bamboo scales and colored cloths to tie into the "Nian" beast during the farming season, and dance in front of each house with majestic drums and music, in order to suppress evil spirits and seek good luck. Because the "New Year" beast likes to eat vegetables, so every family places a plate of vegetables in front of the door for the "New Year" beast to eat. As time goes by, people find that the shape of the "New Year" is very much like a lion. So they called this kind of thing as the lion, and the vegetables were called "Caiqing".

The Value and Functions of Lion Dance

First, it connects with emotions. While it is a sport, its more obvious attribute is that it belongs to the category of folklore. The cultural accumulation of each nation is often expressed in folklore activities, and healthy folklore activities not only express the soul of the nation, but also convey the message code of mutual feeling and knowledge between the brothers of the nation. In the case of "lion dance", a folklore activity loaded with the accumulation of feelings of the children of Yanhuang, wherever there is a Chinese settlement, there is a lion dance and a lion dance culture. The lion dance for good luck is often the best way for Chinese people who are wandering around the world to share happiness and feelings.

Second, it can strengthen the body. The actual operation of lion dance requires good coordination among all the components, and it is a kind of project that combines multiple factors such as music and lion dance. Because of this integration, the lion dance has a strong ornamental and artistic value, which can fully meet people's entertainment and aesthetic needs. At the same time, for the performers, lion dance is a sport that strengthens the body and cultivates the emotions.

Third, it has educational significance. The lion dance is a traditional culture in China, and it is the inheritance of the culture to carry forward the lion dance. We can understand the history and culture of the region through lion dance.

Fourth, it has the commercial function. The performance nature of lion dance brings a lot of commercial benefits. In addition, the lion dance brings about the development of tourism and other related industries. In the author's opinion, the commercial function of lion dance is not only this, as the development of cultural industry is gaining momentum today, lion dance with deep cultural heritage will face better development opportunities.

Fifth, it enriches the spirit of the nation. The spirit of mutual cooperation and solidarity. The participation of dragon dance is very common, and the professional requirements are not very high. It shows a kind of momentum and team spirit, with a few people or even hundreds of people, dancing up and down, surging and inspiring. This requires more than one person to complete the whole set of interlacing, running and jumping, tumbling and other movements, mutual cooperation is particularly important, must maximize the team effect; inherit the spirit of tradition and innovation, although the dragon and lion dance has a long history, but also not unchanging, positive, innovative features nurtured in different ways of performance, reflecting the spirit of never-ending innovation

Historical Stages of the Development of Traditional Lion Dance
During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the traditional lion dance developed to a deeper level
The skills of the Wei, Jin and Northern Dynasties formed different performance styles and program focuses in the North and South due to geographical barriers and different environments. In the south, the Han regime inherited the 'orthodoxy', and the ideology of Confucianism was changed to Zhuanglao, and the social habits tended to be weak. Therefore, although the Southern Dynasty had the majestic 'White Tiger ' and other programs from the Northern Dynasty, its mainstream was slender and soft.The traditional lion dance began to be performed on the same stage with ceremonial music(the beginning of music) in the Sui Dynasty, and after the Northern Wei Dynasty and the North and South Dynasties, its artistic image became richer and had a strong folk base, and the court performance became more mature. In the eleventh year of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, the nine music parts of Sui Dynasty were adjusted and increased into "ten music parts". One of the most famous "five lions", also known as "Taiping music".Performers danced and sang "Taiping music", taking the meaning of world peace and good fortune, which was basically the same as the symbolic meaning of today's lion dance. During the Song and Yuan dynasties - a turning point in the development of traditional lion dance technology, the performance form, performance team and program creation of lion dance in the Song dynasty underwent more profound changes. Techniques began to be divided into sections, prompting peer artists to gather for social fires; social fires further united the team and promoted the development of skills, as well as the formation of various genres, creating conditions for the prosperity of the folk lion dance movement. In Yuan Dynasty, "lion dance" also had innovation,.For instance,"high Cui lion dance" in the Yuan Dynasty first seen in the records. Although the Qing Dynasty Palace also had lion dance performances, generally speaking, the scale was not large. Southern and northern lion performances in the Qing Dynasty formed different images and different techniques of performance style. In the north, there were "Large lion" and "Small lion", whose images and performances resembled real lions, while the lion dance in the south had integrated dance, acrobatics and martial arts into one, which was quite new compared to the traditional lion dance methods.

The Development of Modern Lion Dance

(A) Before the liberation of the competition between the lion teams in the festive activities of the nature of the competition
In the 1920s and 1930s, the lion dance was generally preceded by the Shaolin and the Five tiger stick , followed by the lion , the vine , the rice-gale , the shuttlecock , and the kong Schools, which started from their respective villages and rushed to the temple. Along the way, whenever they encountered the roadside tea huts or tea points, they should get off the performance. To the temple they worshiped after the incense and performed martial arts. Then they returned along the way, if on the way the temple fair and several villages a few teams met together, this performance was often with the nature of the competition '; in some places gradually formed a regular tournament .In modern times during the festival have a relatively fixed lion team to perform and the lion team also competed and cut martial arts, with the nature of the competition. The lion dance has taken the form of a competitive lion dance.

(B) Lion dance became a traditional national sport
On February 28, 1934, the first Folk Games of Henan Province, there were more than 20 folk martial arts associations such as dry boat, dragon lantern, lion and kite flying to perform and compete. In 1978, the lion dance was invited as a special performance at the First Folk Games, and it became an official event at the Fourth Agricultural Games. Now there are different events such as National Lion Dance Championship and various kinds of North-South Lion King Competition, National Dragon and Lion Invitation Tournament and Elite Tournament every year, and it has become an official competition item in the National Agricultural Games, National Urban Games and the Third National Sports Congress.

(C) Lion dance shine on the acrobatic stage
In 1972, Premier Zhou Enlai personally watched the acrobatic performances of six large troupes in Beijing, including China, Shanghai, Wuhan, Shenyang, Xi'an and Warriors, and affirmed the skills of the "lion dance", which were partly choreographed according to the laws of acrobatics.They have been organized to visit Asian, African, American and European countries and become the first team of people's diplomacy. The lion dance skills have developed rapidly on the acrobatic stage, and a series of new and difficult skills have been developed on the basis of inherited traditions. The high skills of acrobatic lion dance have a great influence on the traditional folk lion dance and competitive lion dance, and the traditional folk lion dance and competitive lion dance have absorbed the performance style and props of acrobatic lion dance, enriched their own performance forms, and continuously improved the level of traditional lion dance and competitive lion dance.

Lion Dance Culture Development Problem
As it is not easy to cultivate talents to inherit the lion dance culture, and the props used to make the lion dance are expensive, the traditional lion dance culture is also facing the crisis of no one inheriting it. As a representative of the excellent traditional culture, how to survive and develop the lion dance culture in the intersection of modern technology and traditional culture is an important issue that contemporary lion dancers have to think about.

Measures for Solving the Problem
(A) Strengthen corooperation with colleges and universities to carry out lion dance classes
Youth is the future and hope of the country.Vigorously developing traditional culture education for youth, and incorporating lion dance culture into students' curriculum can not only enrich campus culture, but also greatly improve the popularity of lion dance culture and enhance youth's cultural identity and national pride. Students are the successors of the communist cause, the main body of education, and the main body of cultural inheritance and dissemination. Relying on school education to develop lion dance culture, more people can understand and inherit lion dance culture. The rejuvenation of traditional culture and its development on the basis of popularization are the needs of lion dance culture inheritance and the wishes of lion dance lovers.

(B) Promote the culture and spirit of lion dance through the Internet and mass media
In order to make the lion dance culture develop better, we make use of the development of the whole media to promote the beautiful connotation of the lion dance culture through the Internet and make use of the mass media to vigorously publicize it, so that more people really like the lion dance culture and really enter the lion dance culture; we rely on the Internet to strengthen the cultural exchange among the lion dance enthusiasts all over the country, so as to promote the spread and inheritance of the lion dance culture; we rely on the whole media to carry out the lion dance culture competition, formulate scientific competition rules and generous rewards to arouse people's enthusiasm for participation, so that more people can participate in the promotion of the lion dance culture and promote the spread of the lion dance culture.

(C) Accelerate the innovation to push the development of lion dance culture
The premise of traditional culture innovation is to first understand its cultural value, grasp the comprehensive traditional cultural content, and then promote the corresponding lion dance culture, so that the folk lion dance is known to more people, even to learn the skills, so that the lion dance is well inherited. In the traditional lion dance culture promotion at the same time, the lion dance team should also be committed to in-depth study of the lion dance culture with the times to drive the value of the economy to achieve the culture to give rise to the economy and the economy in turn to support the culture of mutual assistance and harmony. In such a way wa can break the situation that traditional culture has no successor due to the narrow market prospect, and provide a reference for the inheritance and development of Chinese traditional culture. With the rapid development of the times and the improvement of people's living standards, some connotations of traditional culture are no longer applicable to modern life, so it is necessary to accelerate the promotion of cultural innovation, promote the innovation of lion dance culture, and constantly innovate the form of lion dance culture development and inheritance, so as to attract more people to understand lion dance culture and inherit it.

(D) Cultivate lion dance culture talents,and pay attention to integration of local culture
To actively carry out lion dance culture promotion activities, select talents from young people who are interested in lion dance culture, make them receive professional training in lion dance culture, develop their interest into a profession, make them become the inheritors of lion dance culture, and promote the inheritance of lion dance culture. In the local lion dance culture, we dig deep into the local culture and explore the cultural heritage, so that the lion dance culture can be well inherited and developed, integrating the traditional lion dance into the local cultural connotation and giving it new vitality. In addition to the local culture, there is also a folk lion dance culture with local characteristics, establishing unique cultural programs, spreading unique cultural values, so that the traditional lion dance culture continues to be inherited.

(E) Define the cultural positioning, actively implement the "going out" strategy, and promote the lion dance culture to the world
The government should formulate relevant policies to support, position lion dance culture well, and support key projects to promote the inheritance and development of lion dance culture, so that more people can understand lion dance culture and participate in the inheritance of lion dance culture, thus enhancing the social status and influence of lion dance culture. While promoting the inheritance and development of lion dance culture, we should not only spread and develop the inheritance at home, but also actively promote the strategy of "going out" to promote Chinese traditional culture to the world, so that people around the world can understand lion dance culture, learn lion dance culture, inherit and spread lion dance culture, so that lion dance culture can be developed around the world and spread the beautiful connotation of China's excellent traditional culture. The beautiful connotation of excellent traditional culture.

China enjoys great abundance in resources of flowers. Early in ancient times, Chinese people noted that the value of flowers was diversified, and utilized flowers in various ways. Flowers could be used as ingredients for cuisine, herbal medicine, and decorative items. Moreover, the image of flowers always appeared in poems, proses and articles, highly praised by Chinese literary men for the beauty, fragrance as well as spirits. Throughout history, flowers are of both pragmatic and spiritual significance in Chinese culture.

==Yuan Ling 袁灵 - National Belief: the Chinese Dream==

In November of 2012, soon after the conclusion of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), President Xi Jinping put forward, for the first time, the idea of the Chinese Dream on a visit to “The Road towards National Rejuvenation” exhibition at the National Museum of China. The Chinese dream meant for him the “great renewal of the Chinese nation.” and “is a dream of the whole nation, as well as of every individual,” he said. Since then, use of the phrase has become widespread in official announcements and as the embodiment of the leadership's political ideology under Xi Jinping. Xi said that young people should “dare to dream, work assiduously to fulfill the dreams and contribute to the revitalization of the nation.” There are various connotations and interpretations of the term.

==Zhou Sirui 周思睿 - Science and Technology: BuyTogether（PDD)==

Buytogether(PDD), also called Pinduoduo in Chinese, is a mainstream e-commerce application of mobile Internet in China, and a third-party social e-commerce platform focusing on C2M(Customer-to-Manufacturer) group shopping. It was founded in September 2015. Users can buy goods at a lower price by buying them with their friends, families and neighbors together.

Buytogether aims to enable people to buy better goods at lower prices and gain more benefits and fun by gathering the strength of more people. Its idea in online shopping is unique in that it creates a brand new pattern of social e-commerce: Community E-Commerce.

'''A.The History of Development'''

After only three years of development, Buytogether was successfully listed on NASDAQ in July 2018. In July 2020, Buytogether ranked the fourth in "The Hurun China’s Top 10 E-commerce 2020". By 2020, Buytogether 's annual active users reached nearly 800 million, and its operating revenue reached 59.492 billion yuan. Reviewing the developing course of Buytogether, we can mainly divide it into the following two stages :

1.Early Developing Period (2015-2018)

Aiming at the sinking market, Buytogether came into being. Although e-commerce has great market potential, the competition is also very fierce. After years of development, Taobao, JD and other well-known traditional e-commerce enterprises have occupied a huge market share for a long time. Although having a large market share, they are also bothered by various problems, such as product quality concerns, fake goods, deficient platform supervision and so on, which force them to proceed strategic improvement. For example, in 2015, Taobao cracked down on the fake goods appearing on the platform, hoping to enhance customers' confidence in it by improving the quality of products. But at the same time, the improvement of product quality has brought about the rising of product price, which makes Taobao break away from the highly price-sensitive consumers, who pay more attention to the price rather than the brand. Users in such a sinking market that was unoccupied have become targets of Buytogether.

In September 2015, Buytogether was officially launched. In February 2016, Buytogether 's monthly turnover exceeded 10 million, and its users exceeded 20 million. In July 2016, Buytogether had more than 100 million users and received a B round of $110 million financing. On October 10,2016, the single-day transaction volume of Buytogether 's anniversary celebration, a big shopping festival, exceeded 100 million yuan. In October 2017, Buytogether occupied the first place in the total number of iOS application downloads under the category of shopping for nearly one month. Buytogether is a dark horse in the early days, constantly showing its edge.

2.Growing Period (from 2018 to now)

After three years of development, Buytogether was successfully listed on NASDAQ in July 2018, and has made remarkable achievements. According to CCTV, Buytogether had 385.5 million annual active users in 2018, surpassing JD, the second largest e-commerce platform with its 305.2 million users. In February 2019, Buytogether was included in the MSCI. In June 2019, the " Subsidy of Ten Billion Yuan " activity was launched, and Buytogether was selected as one of " The Forbes Most Innovative Enterprises in China 2019" in the same month. In December 2019, Buytogether launched the train ticket service on its App terminal. In 2019, Buytogether 's operating revenue was about 30.142 billion yuan, and the number of multiannual active users had reached 585.2 million by the end of 2019.According to the 2020 annual report released by Buytogether, it achieved operating revenue of about 59.492 billion yuan in 2020, with a growing rate of 97% compared with 2019. The achievements of Buytogether are amazing to all, creating a miracle among all the e-commerce platforms.

'''B.The Special Marketing Strategy'''

Buytogether's success is inseparable from its unique marketing strategy based on community .

Internet technology breaks the limitation of time and space; various social media provide interactive platforms, strengthening users’ connectivity. The essence of Buytogether's going viral is to take the social media as carriers to carry out e-commerce transactions, namely community e-commerce. Community e-commerce manages the users and potential users of the platform in a new way, paying more attention to providing users with more interactive communication and scenarios, so as to facilitate users to find groups where other people have similar interests and needs to their own and hence exchange shopping information and conduct group shopping at a much lower price. In Buytogether, users can get lower prices when they share the links of what they want to buy with their friends to form a group for shopping. The characteristics of Buytogether's community e-commerce are as follows:

1.Targeting customers in the sink market.

The "internet traffic(data)-centered" competing mechanism of traditional e-commerce platforms represented by Taobao and JD makes the main market of online shopping be occupied by leading brands with abundant funds. In the early days of establishment, Buytogether effectively distinguished its main customers from those of traditional e-commerce platforms, and positioned the main customers in the sink market to buffer competition in the industry. Buytogether supplies products at lower prices than other traditional e-commerce platforms by some strategies like “the more you buy, the lower prices are”, shopping in group and enabling users to bargain, thus attracting a large number of consumers in the sink market and small cities.

The increase of the users attracts a larger number of sellers to flood into the platform in return. With its decentralized internet traffic(data) distribution and low-cost entry threshold, Buytogether has brought opportunities to start-ups and niche enterprises. Many little-known businesses including some self-employed ones have flooded into the platform as well. Both parties of a deal in the sink market are attracted by Buytogether’s low prices and low costs. Consumers gain lower prices and suppliers acquire more customers; the trading system of Buytogether is gradually improved.

2.Popularizing based on users’ community.

Buytogether attracts more and more customers depending on social media and users’ social relations. Under the logic of community, the Internet economy is based on human.

Generally speaking, the formation of different groups is based on interests, kinship, etc. Through third-party social platforms such as WeChat and QQ, consumers establish and join groups where people have similar interests and needs to share and exchange information. In other words, users with similar interest or needs form a community. Buytogether manages these community members, analyzes the characteristics of different communities, captures their needs and interest points, so as to release marketing contents accurately and establish unlimited vertical market segments.

Also, consumers in the online communities will share their experience of using products with recommendation or criticism, which actually provides the stores and the platform itself with suggestions for improving, assistance in producing and innovative ideas. Consumers are not only loyal "buyers", but also enthusiastic "sharers" and innovative "producers".

3.Selling in the form of group.

Buytogether's "group enjoys discounts" selling strategy has attracted many consumers in pursuit of high cost performance. The "buying in group" model has grown full-bloom with the combined promotion of big data, the Internet and the community economy.

Group shopping brings more benefits to consumers. It is easy to arouse consumers’ desire to buy when their friends share the link of what they want to buy that they also need and has an affordable price. Then the virtuous cycle comes. In order to get lower price, it is inevitable to share the group link with friends. If this cycle continues, more and more people will download Buytogether and buy something. When consumers choose such a social platform where friends gather to share group shopping links, it is easier to form communities and develop the habit of sharing and shopping in group. Group shopping reflects the integration of network technology into real life, bringing mutual benefits and win-win results, which is also an upgrade of consumption form.

4.Reducing intermediary businesses.

Traditional e-commerce platforms have broadened online transaction channels, but have not effectively shortened the transaction process between suppliers and customers. Therefore, the profit space of suppliers and consumers has not been totally released.

By targeting the sink market, Buytogether has attracted a large number of suppliers of different brands to the platform to talk with customers directly. Users can form groups and make orders on Buytogether according to their interests and needs. The platform will skip the procedure of channel distribution and feedback users’ needs to suppliers directly to shorten the decision-making time and reduce the inventory backlog.

The docking of transaction terminals reduces the profits middlemen can get, releasing the profit space for users and suppliers. Buytogether is committed to shortening the transaction process between users and suppliers, thus attracting more transaction terminals to enter the platform. So it becomes a main advantage of Buytogether that attracts stores and suppliers at lower operating costs.

'''C.The Advantages of Buytogether'''

1.Creating needs actively.

Under the model of traditional e-commerce, users mostly buy goods based on their own needs, which means the platform itself is not active enough in inspiring customers’ demands. But Buytogether attracts new consumers and promotes their demands actively through low prices, recommendation from friends, group shopping and many other ways.

Users in social media will browse the information of products when they receive links of group shopping from their friends. The products are usually affordable and practical that are necessities for consumers, so they are likely to buy the products as well. Therefore, depending on the relation network of community members, it is easy for Buytogether to dig out and inspire customers’ potential needs.

2.Connecting users in many ways.

User connection is a significant advantage of Buytogether. Under the mode of community e-commerce, the relationship between users and sellers or other users is much closer. What community members pursue is not only the material benefits brought by products themselves, but also the interactive communication and emotional connection with others. Therefore, they tend to have a high degree of involvement and loyalty to stores, and spontaneously participate in the activities that contribute to the prosperity of the whole community like collaborative production, reputation building and spreading, content producing and so on, forming a C2B model where users’ demands guide the production, so as to solve the problem of inventory redundancy and optimize trading processes. Under the guidance of opinion leaders, community members are more likely to develop a herd mentality, and gain a sense of belonging and a sense of achievement from their collective actions. Fan economy, opinion leaders and herd effect in community e-commerce open a new vision for businesses to drive users to respond.

3.Promoting social contacts.

Traditional e-commerce improves the shopping experiences of individual consumers by issuing allowances, coupons and cross-store discounts. But Buytogether fosters adhesiveness of users through interaction. Buytogether utilizes the interpersonal network of community to innovate forms of discounts, such as inviting friends to help bargain, gain free charge and group price, not only meeting the customers’ practical needs of information acquisition, price concessions and product purchases, but also enabling customers to improve their shopping experiences with interactive entertainment.

'''D.The problems of Buytogether'''

1.The crisis of confidence

Recently, Buytogether has launched zero yuan purchase, cash withdrawal with friends’ help(by sharing links) and other activities that require users to invite their friends to participate in. However, to gain the promised benefits, users have to obey complex procedures and sometimes they get nothing after it. So in the process of these activities, consumers will feel interested and inspired at the beginning, and then they are likely to be disappointed, or even give up midway. Even if they really complete the task, they will feel that the harvest and their efforts are not proportional. In this way, it is easy for users to feel bored about the activity of the platform, seriously affecting their confidence in it.

2.The problem of low quality

Since its establishment, Buytogether has been adopting the low-price marketing strategy based on social networking including a series of discount activities, which have continuously compressed the profit space of the settled stores. In order to conform with the platform's low-price strategy as much as possible, these stores have to reduce the costs of raw materials and production, thus causing quality problems. In addition, due to Buytogether’s low entry threshold and loose supervision, the qualifications of its sellers are not all official. Some sellers enter the platform to sell fake and shoddy products, which not only damages the rights and interests of consumers, but also destroys users' trust in the platform.

3.The damage of corporate image

The main way for Buytogether to realize its community marketing is to attract new users by making current users constantly share the platform links. Current users frequently forward links to invite friends to help them gain a discount or cash rewards, but sometimes such behavior will bother their friends, the potential customers of Buytogether, and even stir their antipathy for this platform. Therefore, this method of marketing is a double-edged sword, sometimes damaging its corporate image.

'''E.The Measures for Optimization'''

1.Optimize marketing rules and enhance users’ confidence.

After years of accumulation, Buytogether has had a large number of registered users, so the marketing rules can be appropriately optimized based on it. Nowadays, Buytogether no longer needs to rely on fission marketing methods like sharing links to expand the user scale, but needs to improve its own marketing policies, utilize social media more rationally, and formulate marketing activities from the perspective of users. Buytogether can take into consideration increasing the probability of consumers completing their tasks in marketing activities and giving consumers more subsidies and dividends to gain their confidence and foster their loyalty to the platform.

2.Reinforce supervision and improve the quality of products.

If Buytogether wants to reduce inferior products, it must supervise its sellers closely. When sellers enter, their qualification and product quality must be strictly checked. In addition, while strengthening the supervision of the sellers, Buytogether is also advised to give more welfare to these sellers to encourage them to pay more attention to product quality, so as to solve related problems from the source. Moreover, Buytogether should also establish an organic system of after-sales service, increase the number of personnel to serve customers, and handle all kinds of complaints from users properly.

3.Polish up users’comments and improve the corporate image.

Consumers tend to consider the platform’s corporate image when choosing products. Unfortunately, many consumers have linked Buytogether with "inferior products" at present, so it is emergent for Buytogether to regain users' confidence and trust by improving its corporate image.

二人正说着，可巧小丫头靓儿因不见了扇子，和宝钗笑道：“必是宝姑娘藏了我的。好姑娘，赏我罢。”宝钗指他道：“你要仔细！我和谁玩过，你来疑我？和你素日嘻皮笑脸的那些姑娘们，你该问他们去。”说的靓儿跑了。宝玉自知又把话说造次了，当着许多人，更比才在黛玉跟前更不好意思，便急回身，又同别人搭赸去了。黛玉听见宝玉奚落宝钗，心中着实得意，才要搭言，也趁势取个笑，不想靓儿因找扇子，宝钗又发了两句话，他便改口说道：“宝姐姐，你听了两出什么戏？

The girls who have been smiling and laughing with you, you should ask them." Liang'er ran away because of this chat. Precious Jade knew he said wrong things again, especially in public rather than before Mascara Jade Forest so he rushed back and talked with others.

”宝钗因见黛玉面上有得意之态，一定是听了宝玉方才奚落之言，遂了他的心愿，忽又见问他这话，便笑道：“我看的是李逵骂了宋江，后来又赔不是。”宝玉便笑道：“姐姐通今博古，色色都知道，怎么连这一出戏的名儿也不知道，就说了这么一串。这叫做‘负荆请罪’。”宝钗笑道：“原来这叫‘负荆请罪’！你们通今博古，才知道‘负荆请罪’，我不知什么叫‘负荆请罪’。”一句话未说了，宝玉黛玉二人心里有病，听了这话，早把脸羞红了。
Seeing that Mascara Jade looked pleased, Jade Hairpin Marsh grass must have listened to Precious Jade's taunts and given him what he wanted. Suddenly she asked him what he had said and said with a smile, "What I saw is that Li Kui scolded Song Jiang and then apologized." Precious Jade laughed and said, "My sister knows everything about this play, but she doesn't even know the name of the play, so she just talked about it. It's called 'offer a humble apology'."Jade Hairpin Marshgrass laughed and said, "Ahh,this is called 'offer a humble apology'! Until now, you have known the 'offer a humble apology'. I do not know what it means." Before she said that, Both Precious Jade and Mascara Jade were sick and blushed at this.

凤姐这些上虽不通，但只看他三人形景，便知其意，也笑问道：“这们大热的天，谁还吃生姜呢？”众人不解，便说道：“没有吃生姜的。”凤姐故意用手摸着腮，咤异道：“既没人吃生姜，怎么这样辣辣的？”宝玉黛玉二人听见这话，越发不好意思了。宝钗再欲说话，见宝玉十分羞愧，形景改变，也就不好再说，只得一笑收住。别人总未解得他四个人的言语，因此付之一笑。一时宝钗凤姐去了，黛玉笑向宝玉道：“你也试着比我利害的人了。谁都象我心拙口夯的，由着人说呢！

Though Sister Phoenix didn't know much about this thing, she figured it out only by looking at these three and laughed " Who is eating ginger in such a hot day?"

Precious Jade and Jade Forests felt more shy after listening to this. Precious Hairpin Marshgrass was about to say something but seeing Precious Jade felt ashamed she had no choice but to swallowed it down and replaced it with a decent smile.

”宝玉正因宝钗多心，自己没趣，又见黛玉问着他，越发没好气起来。欲待要说两句，又怕黛玉多心，说不得忍气，无精打彩，一直出来。谁知目今盛暑之际，又当早饭已过，各处主仆人等多半都因日长神倦，宝玉背着手，到一处，一处鸦雀无声。从贾母这里出来，往西走过了穿堂，便是凤姐的院落。到他院门前，只见院门掩着，知道凤姐素日的规矩，每到天热，午间要歇一个时辰的，进去不便，遂进角门，来到王夫人上房内。只见几个丫头手里拿着针线，却打盹儿。

Precious Jade bored to think about Precious Hairpin was annoyed when Mascara Jade asked him. He was going to say but stopped in case of suspicion of Mascara Jade. He couldn’t say nothing but swallowed. Frustrating until he went out. However, he didn’t notice it was the time that scorching summer came and breakfast went. Near a half of servants were tired due to the long and hot days. With his hands clasped behind back, Precious Jade came to a place that was extremely silent. Coming from Grandma Merchant’s, he walked westward through the hall to Sister Phoenix’s house. It was closed when he achieved. He knew Sister Phoenix’s rules that if the day is hot, she will have a rest for two hours. It was not convenient to get in. He changed, through the corner door, to Lady King’s but found several maids who were napping with needles.—[[User:Chen Xinyi1|Chen Xinyi1]] ([[User talk:Chen Xinyi1|talk]]) 16:30, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

王夫人在里间凉床上睡着，金钏儿坐在傍边捶腿，也乜斜着眼乱恍。宝玉轻轻的走到跟前，把他耳上带的坠子一摘，金钏儿睁跟，见是宝玉。宝玉便悄悄的笑道：“就困的这么着？”金钏抿嘴一笑，摆手令他出去，仍合上眼。宝玉见了他，就有些恋恋不舍的，悄悄的探头瞧瞧王夫人合着眼，便自己向身边荷包里带的香雪润津丹掏了一丸出来，便向金钏儿口里一送，金钏儿并不睁眼，只管噙了。宝玉上来，便拉着手，悄悄的笑道：“我和太太讨你，咱们在一处吧。”金钏儿不答。

宝玉又道：“不然，等太太醒来，我就讨。”金钏儿睁开眼，将宝玉一推，笑道：“你忙什么？‘金簪儿掉在井里头，有你的只是有你的。’连这句俗语难道也不明白？我告诉你个巧方儿，你往东小院子里拿环哥儿同彩云去。”宝玉笑道：“凭他怎么去罢，我只守着你。”只见王夫人翻身起来，照盘钏儿脸上就打了一个嘴巴子，指着骂道：“下作小娼妇！好好爷们，都叫你们教坏了！”宝玉见王夫人起来，早一溜烟去了。这里金钏儿半边脸火热，一声不敢言语。

"When she wakes up, I’ll ask her about you," he said. Golden opened her eyes wide and gave him a little push."What’s the hurry?" she said playfully. "Yours is yours, wherever it be”, as they said to the lady when she dropped her gold comb in the well. Haven’t you ever heard that saying?—I’ll tell you something to do, if you want a bit of fun. Go into the little east courtyard and you"ll be able to catch Sunset and Ring together.""Who cares about them?" said Jade. "Let’s talk about us." At this point Lady Wang sat bolt upright and dealt Golden a slap in the face."Shameless little harlot!" she cried, pointing at bet wrath-fully. "It’s you and your like who corrupt our innocent young boys."Jade had slipped silently away as soon as his mother sat up.

登时众丫头们听见王夫人醒了，都忙进来。王夫人便叫：“玉钏儿，把你妈叫上来，带出你姐姐去。”金钏儿听见，忙跪下哭道：“我再不敢了！太太要打要骂，只管发落，别叫我出去，就是天恩了。我跟了太太十来年，这会子撵出去，我还见人不见人呢！”王夫人固然是个宽仁慈厚的人，从来不曾打过丫头们一下，今忽见金钏儿行此无耻之事，此乃平生最恨者，故气忿不过，打了一下子，骂了几句。虽金钏儿苦求，也不肯收留；到底唤了金钏儿之母白老媳妇领了下去。

At that moment the maids heard that Lady King was awake, so hurried in. Lady King called, "Jade Bracelet, call your mother in and take your sister away." Golden Bracelet heard that, knelt down and cried: "I dare not again! If you wants to beat or scold me, just let it go, but don't send me out. I've been with you for ten years, and I'll see nobody if I was kicked out." Lady King was indeed a kind person, and had never beaten her maids. Now she was indignant and excepting Golden Bracelet -- she had hated the most in her life -- and excepting also a few harsh words. Though Golden Bracelet excepted her also, Finally called Golden Bracelet's mother white old wife led down.--[[User:Guo Zirui|Guo Zirui]] ([[User talk:Guo Zirui|talk]]) 14:27, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

At that moment, heard that Lady King was awake, all the maids came in hurriedly. Lady King called, "Jade Bracelet, call your mother in and take your sister out of the court." Golden Bracelet heard that, knelt down and cried: "I dare not do it again! Madam, if you wants to beat or scold me, please do ut, but don't send me out. I've served you for ten years, so I will be humiliated if you throw me out." Lady King was essentially a kind and lenientperson, and had never beaten her maids. These time, seeing Golden Bracelet does such
a indecent thing that she hated most in her life, Lady King was so angry that she
beat and swore at Golden Bracelet. Though Golden Bracelet intercedes with her sincerely, Lady King refused to keep Golden Bracelet and called Golden Bracelet's mother, White Old Wife, to pick her up.

那金制儿含羞忍辱的出去，不在话下。且说宝玉见王夫人醒了，自己没趣，忙进大观园来。只见赤日当无，树阴合地，满耳蝉声，静无人语。刚到了蔷薇架，只听见有人哽噎之声，宝玉心中疑惑，便站住细听，果然架下那边有人。此时正是五月，那蔷薇花叶茂盛之际，宝玉悄悄的隔着篱笆洞儿一看，只见一个女孩子蹲在花下，手里拿着根绾头的簪子在地下抠土，一面悄悄的流泪呢。宝玉心中想道：“难道这也是十痴丫头，又象颦儿来葬花不成！

Golden Bracelet went out with shame and feelings of humiliation. Precious Jade saw that Lady King had woken up, feeling bored, and went to the Daguan Gardens.
The hot sun was high in the sky and the shadow covered the ground. There was no sounds of human but the songs of cicadas. Walking nearly to the rose bushes, Precious Jade heard someone was chocking. Confused, he stopped to distinguish the cry. Someone was there! It was in May, the month that roses were blossoming and leafy, and Precious Jade saw from the hole of the fence quietly and found a crouched girl crying silently while using the hair clasp to dig at the earth. Precious Jade wondered:" Is this also a perfect fool girl like Frown burying flowers?"––[[User:Han Jingru|Han Jingru]] ([[User talk:Han Jingru|talk]]) 15:35, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

”因又自笑道：“若真也葬花，可谓‘东施效颦’，不但不为新特，而且更是可厌了。”想毕，便要叫那女子，说：“你不用跟着林姑娘学了。”话未出口，幸而再看时，这女孩子面生，不是个侍儿，倒像是那十二个学戏的女孩子之内一个，却辨不出他是生、旦、净、丑那一个脚色来。宝玉忙忙把舌头一伸，将口掩住，自己想道：“幸而不曾造次，上两回皆因造次了，颦儿也生气，宝儿也多心，如今再得罪了他们，越发没意思了。”一面想，一面又恨认不得这个是谁。

Precious Jade laughed:"If she also inhumes flowers, that might be called awkward imitation. The behavior is not surprising but disgusting." Thinking for a while, he was on the point of calling to her, "You don't need to imitate miss Lin." When Precious Jade noticed her face inadvertently, he found that the girl looked unfamiliar. She wasn't a maid but seemed like one of the 12 girls who were learning opera,even if Precious Jade could not distinguish which role that she played. He stopped his tongue and covered his mouth. "It's my fortune that I still don't speak out." Precious Jade held himself. Last two times, I failed to hold my mouth, displeasing Jade Forests and annoying Precious Hairpin Marshgrass . It would be no sense to offend any of these girls.

However, Precious Jade could not distinguish which role she played, the Sheng, the Dan, the JIng or the clown. He stuck his tongue hastily and covered his mouth. “It’s my fortune that I don’t speak it out,” Precious Jade thought, “Last two times I failed to hold my mouth, displeasing and provoking both Jade Forest and Precious Hairpin Marshgrass.

再留神细看，只见这女孩子眉蹙春山，眼颦秋水，面薄腰纤，袅袅婷婷，大有林黛玉之态。宝玉早又不忍弃他而去，只管痴看，只见他虽然用金簪画地，并不是掘士埋花，竟是向土上画字。宝玉用眼随着簪子的起落，一直到底，一画、一点、一勾的看了去，数一数，十八笔，自己又在手心里用指头接着他方才下笔的规矩写了，猜是个什么字。写成一想，原来就是个蔷薇花的“蔷”字。宝玉想道：“必定是他也要做诗填词，这会子见这花，因有所感，或者偶成一两句，一时兴至，怕忘，在地下画着推敲，也未可知。

Precious Jade paid close attention to watching and found the girl’s eyebrows were as lush as spring mountains, her eyes as crystal as autumn waters, her face thin, her waist slender and her posture elegant that was much like Mascara Jade Forest. Precious Jade couldn’t make his mind to leave her alone, so he was just obsessed with gazing at her. She dug the earth ground by her hairpin, not digging the dirt to plant flowers but writing characters on the ground. Precious Jade’s eyeballs moved around with the hairpin’s rising and falling straight to the end. Every horizontal stroke, every dot and every hook, all 18 strokes, were watch by Precious Jade. Precious Jade then drew in his palm by his finger according to the stroke order, wondering what she had written. It turned out to be the “rosa” of “rosa multiflora”. Precious Jade thought, “She must have been composing a poem. Whether she was enchanted by the flowers or some verses came into her mind so she wrote it down lest she should forget, it was hard to tell.”--[[User:Lei Heng|Lei Heng]] ([[User talk:Lei Heng|talk]]) 11:54, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

且看他底下再写什么。”一面想，一面又看，只见那女孩子还在那里画呢。画来画去，还是个“蔷”字。再看，还是个“蔷”字。里面的原是早已痴了，画完一个“蔷”又画一个“蔷”，已经画了有几十个。外面的不觉也看痴了，两个眼睛珠儿只管随着簪子动，心里却想：“这女孩子一定有什么说不出的大心事，才这么个形景。外面他既是这个形景，心里不知怎么熬煎呢！看他的横样儿，这般单薄，心里那里还搁得住熬煎？可恨我不能替你分些过来。”

“……I’d like to see what she is going to write later.” He was wondering while watching, that girl still writing over there. She kept writing which turned out to be a word of “Rose”. And when he stared at it, it was the word of “Rose” as well. The girl inside has already been obsessed with it, writing the word of “Rose” one after another, which added up to dozens. At the same time, the person outside also watched obsessively, the two eyes of whom were just moving with the hairpin. And he thought, “The reason why she is doing so must be that she has something in the bottom of her heart that is hardly exposed to others.

伏中阴晴不定，片云可以致雨，忽然凉风过了，飒飒的落下一阵雨来。宝玉看那女子头上滴下水来，纱衣裳登时湿了。宝玉想道：“这是下雨了，他这个身子，如何禁得骧雨一激。”因此禁不住便说道：“不用写了。你看下大雨，身上都湿了。”那女孩子听说，倒唬了一跳，抬头一看，只见花外一个人叫他“不要写下大雨了”，一则宝玉脸面俊秀；二则花叶繁茂，上下俱被枝叶隐住，刚露着半边脸，那女孩子只当是个丫头，再不想是宝玉，因笑道：“多谢姐姐提醒了我，难道姐姐在外头有什么遮雨的？”

The weather was very mixed in midsummer. A few clouds could bring about precipitation. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, the rain falling. Seeing some raindrops dripped down from the girl's head and wetted her tissue embroidered, Precious Jade thought," It is raining. How can her delicate body withstand such a heavy rain." Therefore, he couldn't help saying,"Don't continue writing! It is raining so heavily and you have already got wet." That girl was startled by his voice, looking up and seeing a man was reminding her that "stop writing. It is raining heavily." Due to Precious Jade's handsome appearance, and the luxuriant trees and flowers, by which Precious Jade was almost hidden, baring only half of his face,that girl just thought him as a servant girl but Precious Jade.

一句提醒了宝玉，“嗳哟”了一声，才觉得浑身冰凉。低头看看自己身上，也都湿了。说：“不好！”只得一气跑回怡红院去了，心里却还记挂着那女孩子没处避雨。原来明日是端阳节，那文官等十二个女孩子都放了学，进园来各处玩耍，可巧小生宝官正旦玉官两个女孩子，正在怡红院和袭人玩笑，被雨阻住，大家把沟堵了，水积在院内，把些绿头鸭、花???、彩鸳鸯，捉的捉，赶的赶，缝了翅膀，放在院内玩耍，将院门关了。袭人等都在游廊上嘻笑。

This reminded Precious Jade. “Aiyo!”then he felt a gust of coldness across his body.When he looked down, he found that he had got totally wet. “Oh, my god!”he had to run back to , but he still worried about that girl has nowhere to shelter the rain. Tomorrow is the Double Fifth festival, the twelve girls have come back from school and played in the garden. Two of the girls named Bao Guan and Yu Guan was playing with Aroma in .

宝玉见关着门，便用手扣门，里面诸人只顾笑，那里听见？叫了半日，拍得门山响，里面方听见了。料着宝玉这会子再不回来的，袭人笑道：“谁这会子叫门？没人开去。”宝玉道：“是我。”麝月道：“是宝姑娘的声音。”晴雯道：“胡说！宝姑娘这会子做什么来？”袭人道：“让我隔着门缝儿瞧瞧，可开就开，别叫他淋着回击。”说着，便顺着游廊到门前往外一瞧，只见宝玉淋得“雨打鸡”一般。袭人见了，又是着忙，又足可笑，忙开了门，笑着，弯腰拍手道：“那里知道是爷回来了！你怎么大雨里跑了来？”

宝玉一肚子没好气，满心里要把开门的踢几脚，方开了门，并不看真是谁，还只当是那些小丫头们，便抬腿踢在肋上，袭人“嗳哟”了一声。宝玉还骂道：“下流东西们！我素日担待你们得了意，一点儿也不怕，越发拿着我取笑儿了！”口里说着，一低头见是袭人哭了，方知踢错了。忙笑道：“嗳哟”是你来了！踢在那里了？”袭人从来不曾受过一句大话儿的，今忽见宝玉生气踢他一下，又当着许多人，又是羞，又是气，又是疼，真一时置身无地。

Precious Jade Merchant was angry and kept thinking about kicking the person who opened the door. When the door was open, he thought they were those little girls so he lifted his leg and kicked someone's ribs without noticing who she was. Aroma made an "ouch". Precious Jade Merchant still swore at those girls," Nasty stuff! I treated you so well generally and you are not afraid of me and even dare laugh at me instead!" Then he knew that he kicked the wrong person, seeing Aroma crying. He quickly smiled," Oh! Here you come! Where did I kick you?" Aroma had never been bullied like that with many people around her.

待要怎么样，料着宝玉未必是安心踢他，少不得忍着说道：“没有踢着，还不换衣裳去！”宝玉一面进房来解衣，一面笑道：“我长了这么大，今日是头一遭儿生气打人，不想偏生遇见了你！”袭人一面忍痛换衣裳，一面笑道：“我是个起头儿的人，也不论事大事小，是好是歹，自然也该从我起。但只是别说打了我，明日顺了手，也打起别人来。”宝玉道：“我才也不是安心。”袭人道：“谁说是安心呢！素日开门关门的都是那起小丫头们的事，他们是憨皮惯了的，早已恨得人牙痒痒，他们也没个怕惧，你打量是他们，踢一下子唬唬也好。

I played a joke and just did not allow someone else to get the door.” He said when rain gradually stopped. They have gone early. With pain in the ribs, Aroma was not herself. When she took off her clothes, she was startled by the bruise, which was on the ribs. The pain made her scream when she fell asleep. Hearing this, Precious Jade Merchant felt uncomfortable and nervous although he did not mean to. So he got out of bed, held the lamp and went to her bedside.

袭人知宝玉心内也不安稳的，待要不叫他伏侍，他又必不依；二则定要惊动别人，小如且由他去罢：因此倚在榻上，由宝玉去伏侍。一交五更，宝玉也顾不得梳洗，忙穿衣出来，将王济仁叫来，亲自确问。王济仁问其原故，不过是伤损，便说了个丸药的名字，怎么服，怎么敷。宝玉记了，回园来，依方调治，不在话下。这日正是端阳佳节，蒲艾簪门，虎符系臂，午间王夫人治了酒席，请薛家母女等赏午。宝玉见宝锓淡淡的，也不和他说话，自知是昨日的原故。

Aroma knew that Precious Jade Merchant felt nervous but if she asked him not to stay here for taking care, he would have rejected. Moreover, it may horrify others so it would be better to let him feel free to do so: thus, she lounged on the bed and Precious Jade Merchant attended to her. Time passed quickly and it was 5 o'clock. Precious Jade Merchant had no time to tidy up himself and quickly wore his clothes asking Wang Ji'ren to come to confirm in his person. Wang JI'ren asked the reason and said that it was merely small hurt then mentioned the name of a pill which he told Baoyu how to take in and apply to. Baoyu forgot it. After coming back to his dwelling, he made the pill according to the prescription easily. It was the Dragon Boat Festival that day, every household put mugwort upon the lintel and everyone applied tiger tally onto arms.During the noon, Mrs. Wang prepared a banquet for mother and daughter of Xue and so on to admire the noon.

既清冷则生感伤，所以不如倒是不聚的好。比如那花开时令人爱慕，谢时便增惆怅，所以倒是不开的好。”故此，人以为欢喜时，他反以为悲。那宝玉的情性只愿常聚，生怕一时散了；那花只愿常开，生怕一时谢了；只到筵散花谢，虽有万种悲伤，也就无可如何了。因此今日之筵，大家无兴散了，林黛玉倒不觉得，倒是宝玉心中闷闷不乐，回至自己房中，长吁短叹。偏生晴雯上来换衣服，不防又把扇子失了手，掉在地下，将骨子跌折。

Since the feeling of sadness was triggered by loniness, it is more pacified without this gathering. It is the same with the growth of flowers.It only adds to the depression when a flower withers, despite its endearing but transitory blossom,which is no better than non-flowering." Because of this, she was sad while others all enjoyed themselves.As Precious Jade's temperament, he greatly longed for gathering all the time with worries of its unprepared ending.In this way,he would rather wish the flowers bloom all the time with worries of its withering. There was no alternative until the gathering ended like the flower's fading, though his heart was full of countless sadness. So for this gathering, Mascara Jade didn't think more after pepole departed with the interest fading away.Instead,Precious Jade was so sullen that he returned to his room to sign deeply. What was worse,Sunny Cloud Formation carelessly dropped the fan on the ground and broke the framework of the fan when she came to change clothes for him.--[[User:Yan Ni|Yan Ni]] ([[User talk:Yan Ni|talk]]) 03:58, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

宝玉因叹道：“蠢才，蠢才！将来怎么样？明日你自己当家立业，难道也是这么顾前不顾后的？”晴雯冷笑道：“二爷近来气大得很，行动就给脸子瞧。前日连袭人都打了，今日又来寻我们的不是。要踢要打凭爷去。就是跌了扇子，也是平常的事；先时连那么样的玻璃缸、玛瑙碗，不知弄坏了多少，也没见个大气儿。这会子一把扇子就这么着了。何苦来！嫌我们就打发了我们，再挑好的使。好离好散的倒不好？”宝玉听了这些话，气的浑身乱战。

Therefore, Precious Jade sighed, "fool, fool! What will happen in the future? In the future, you will be in charge of your own family and business. Is it that you care about the past and ignore what will happen in the future?" Sunny Cloud Formation sneered: "Master, you've been so testy recently that you always show us how angry you are. You even hit Aroma before, and now you're in trouble with us again. You can beat me or kick me away if you want. It's normal to break the fan. I don't know how many glass jars and agate bowls were broken by you before. It's Just a fan which was broken again. Why do you bother? If you dislike us, send us away and choose the right person for yourself. Can't we be separated well? " Precious Jade trembled with anger after hearing these words.--[[User:Yang Lei|Yang Lei]] ([[User talk:Yang Lei|talk]]) 10:42, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

因此说道：“你不用忙，将来有散的日子！”袭人在那边早已听见，忙赶过来，向宝玉道：“好好的，又怎么了？可是我说的：‘一时我不到就有事故儿。’”晴雯听了冷笑道：“姐姐既会说，就该早来，也省了爷生气。自古以来，就只是你一个人伏侍爷的，我们原没伏侍过。因为你伏侍的好，昨日才挨窝心脚；我们不会伏侍的，明日还不知是个什么罪呢？”袭人听了这话，又是恼，又是愧；待要说几句话，因见宝玉已经气的黄了脸，少不得自己忍个性子，推晴雯道：“好妹妹，你出去逛逛，原是我们的不是。”

Then he said, “it wouldn’t bother you, one day we are bound to depart!” Aroma hurried here as she heard them talking, “what’s going on? Are you arguing my saying ‘I was away for only a second?’” Sunny Cloud Formation gave a cynical smile and said, “sister should came early in that you had indicated, which would save the temper for our lord. It seems that you are the only maid who had been severed our lord, which earned you a hurtful strike. We dare not to sever, who knows what’s waiting for us the next time.” Hearing this, Aroma was rather raged and ashamed,. She was about to say something, but only to swallowed it back as she saw Precious Jade’s angry face. Aroma dauted Sunny Cloud Formation and said, “My sister, it has been our fault, just go outside and relax.” --[[User:You Xinning|You Xinning]] ([[User talk:You Xinning|talk]]) 09:26, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

晴雯听了他说“我们”两字，自然是他和宝玉了，不觉又添了醋意，冷笑几声道：“我倒不知道，你们是谁？别叫我替你们害臊了！便是你们鬼鬼祟祟干的那事，也瞒不过我去。那里就称起‘我们’来了！那明公正道，连个姑娘还没挣上去呢，也不过和我似的，那里就称上‘我们’了！”袭人羞得脸紫涨起来，想一想，原是自己把话说错了。宝玉一面说道：“你们气不忿，我明日偏抬举他。”袭人忙拉了宝玉的手道：“他一个糊涂人，你和他分证什么？况且你素日又是有担待的，比这大的，过去了多少，今日是怎么了？”

QingWen heard him say "we",she is aware that it naturally refers to Precious Jade and him and unconsciously felt jealous,sneering and saying:"I have no idea of who you are?don't make me feel ashamed of you.It makes no sense that you could hide those sneaky things from me.How dare you are to claim "we"the god is watching and you are no more than a humble servant with no status and on a par with me,hpw dare you are to proclaim "we"." Attacker felt bashful and blushed instantaneously.after a quick consideration she realized that she had sayed the wrong words.Precious Jade defended that:"You are unreasonbly jealous and outrageous,and I would continue to vibe with her and be partial to her."Attacker held his hand and sayed:"She is a woodenhead and there is no need to quarrel with her.You are a benevolent person with a lot of torlerance.what's wrong with you to fuss at such a trifle"--[[User:Yu Jinbo|Yu Jinbo]] ([[User talk:Yu Jinbo|talk]]) 11:11, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Sunny Cloud Formation heard she said "we", thought it must be Precious Jade and herselves, and unconsciously felt jealous. She sneered and said: "It seems that I don't know who you are. Don't make me feel ashamed of you. You could never hide those sneaky things from me. How dare you claim to be 'we'! By rights you are not the connecting-house-maid, but no more than a humble servant girl with no status on a par with me, yet you are professing you two as 'we'!" Aroma felt embarrassed and a blush rose to her cheeks. Thinking about it, she realized that she had sayed the wrong thing. Precious Jade defended, "You are unreasonbly jealous and outrageous, I'll rather raise her." Aroma held his hand and said, "He is such a woodenhead that there is no need to quarrel with him. You are sensible and tolerant all the time, and have already tolerated even worse. What's wrong with you to fuss at such a trifle?"--[[User:Yu Ziqi|Yu Ziqi]] ([[User talk:Yu Ziqi|talk]]) 08:47, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

晴雯冷笑道：“我原是糊涂人，那里配和我说话！我不过奴才罢咧。”袭人听说，道：“姑娘到底是和我拌嘴，是和二爷拌嘴呢？要是心里恼我，你只和我说，不犯着当着二爷吵；要是恼二爷，不该这么吵的万人知道。我才也不过为了事，进来劝开了，大家保重。姑娘倒寻上我的晦气！又不像是恼我，又不像是恼二爷，夹枪带棒，终久是个什么主意？我就不说，让你说去。”说着便往外走。宝玉向晴雯道：“你也不用生气，我也猜着你的心事了。我回太太去，你也大了，打发你出去，可好不好？”

Sunny Cloud Formation gave a cynical smile and said, "Such a fool I am who doesn't deserve speaking to, just a servant." Aroma replied, "I don't you're bickering with me or the Young Master. If you're angry with me, just tell me, and there's no need to stage a play in front of the Young Master. If you're annoyed with the Young Master, save the noisy fuss that reaches everyone. For settling the matter I come to mediate, doing everyone's good. Unexpectedly you target at me. It seems like it is neither the Young Master nor me who you're mad at. For all those bitter, biting wording, what on earth are you contemplating? I'm no longer saying anything. You can say whatever pleases you." She said while heading outside. Precious Jade said to Sunny Cloud Formation, "You don't need to be this inflamed. I know your thoughts and I will tell to the Lady this matter that you're old enough to be dismissed from the Mansion to for your benefit. All right?"--[[User:Yu Ziqi|Yu Ziqi]] ([[User talk:Yu Ziqi|talk]]) 05:52, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

晴雯听了这话，不觉又伤起心来，含泪说道：“我为什么出去？要嫌我，变着法儿打发我去，也不能够的。”宝玉道：“我何曾经过这样吵闹？一定是你要出去了。不如回太太，打发你去罢。”说着，站起来就要走。袭人忙回身拦住，笑道：“往那里去？”宝玉道：“回太太去！”袭人笑道：“好没意思！认真的去回，你也不怕臊了他？便是他认真要去，也等把这气下去了，等无事中说话儿回了太太也不迟。这会子急急的当一件正经事去回，岂不叫太太犯疑？”

This allusion makes Sunny Cloud Formation unconsciously feel again hurt at heart. “Why should I leave?” she asks with tears, “Even if you so dislike me as to pack me off in various means, you won’t succeed.” “I’ve never seen such brawling!” Precious Jade exclaims. “You’re definitely bent on leaving! I might as well let lady know so as to send you off!” While saying, he stands up and is about to go at once. Aroma immediately turns round and stops him. “Where are you off to?” she smiles. “I’m going to tell my lady.” answers Precious Jade. “What do you mean?” Aroma smiles, “Aren’t you afraid of shaming her if you go and tell lady in earnest? Even if she truly means to leave, you can as well wait until you have calmed from that anger. It won’t be late for you to explain until later during talking, the whole case to our lady. But if you now go hastily and tell her as an urgent matter, will it not misgive our lady?”--[[User:Yuan Ling|Yuan Ling]] ([[User talk:Yuan Ling|talk]])

宝玉道：“太太必不犯疑，我只明说是他闹着要去的。”晴雯哭道：“我多早晚闹着要去了？饶生了气，还拿话压派我。只管去回，我一头碰死了，也不出这门儿。”宝玉道：“这又奇了。你又不去，你又闹些什么？我经不起这吵，不如去了，倒干净。”说着，一定要去回。袭人见拦不住，只得跪下了。碧痕、秋纹、麝月等众丫鬟见吵闹得利害，都鸦雀无闻的在外头听消息，这会子听见袭人跪下央求，便一齐进来，都跪下了。宝玉忙把袭人拉起来，叹了一声，在床上坐下，叫众人起去。

Precious Jade says,"The Mistress will trust me definitely for I am going to tell her it is Sunny Cloud Formation herself that cries for leave.” Sunny Cloud Formation is crying,"When did I cry for leave? Not only is you angry but also threaten me with such words. Ok, go and tell the Mistress! I would crash myself to death here rather than get out of this room." Precious Jade says," I am curious about it. If you aren't willing to leave, what are you making a noise for? Your noise is so bothering and intolerable for me that you'd better leave to make it peaceful and harmonious." It is obvious that he insists on telling the Mistress that Sunny Cloud Formation wants to leave. Failing to stop Precious Jade, Aroma goes down her kneels. The argument so heated, maidgirls including Turquoise Mark,Autumn Vein, Deer Month were waiting outside silently and paying close attention to them. Aware that Aroma is begging Precious Jade and kneeling down, they all enter the room and put their kneels down. Precious Jade pulls up Aroma in a hurry, sighing and sitting on the bed, and then asks everyone to get up and out of the room.—[[User:Zhou Sirui|Zhou Sirui]] ([[User talk:Zhou Sirui|talk]]) 08:06, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

向袭人道：“叫我怎么样才好！这个心使碎了，也没人知道。”说着，不觉滴下泪来。袭人见宝玉流下泪来，自己也就哭了。晴雯在旁哭着，方欲说话，只见黛玉进来，便出去了。林黛玉笑道：“大节下，怎么好好的哭起来？难道是为争粽子吃，争恼了不成？”宝玉和袭人“嗤”的一笑。林黛玉道：“二哥哥不告诉我，我不问你也就知道了。”一面说，一面拍着袭人的肩，笑道：“好嫂子，你告诉我，必定是你们两个拌了嘴。告诉妹妹，替你们和劝和劝。”

What would you have me do?" he asked, addressing himself to Aroma. "This heart of mine has been rent to pieces, and no one has any idea about it!" While speaking, tears of a sudden rolled down his cheek. At the sight of Precious Jade weeping, Aroma also melted into a fit of crying. Ch'ing Wen was standing by them, with watery eyes. She was on the point of reasoning with them, when espying Mascara Jade Forest step into the room, she speedily walked out."

Is it likely that high words have resulted all through that 'dumpling' contest?" Precious Jade and Mascara Jade Forest blurted out laughing. "You don't tell me, cousin," Mascara Jade Forest put in, "but I know all about it, even though I have asked no questions." Now she spoke, and now she patted Aroma on the shoulder. "My dear sister-in-law," she smiled, "just you tell me! It must surely be that you two have had a quarrel.

我们算年纪小，上不去，我也不抱怨；象你怎么也不算在里头？我心里就不服。袭人那怕他得十分儿，也不恼他，原该的。说句良心话，谁还能比他呢？别说他素日殷勤小心，便是不殷勤小心，也拼不得。只可气晴雯绮霞他们这几个，都算在上等里去，仗着老子娘的脸面，众人倒捧着他去。你说可气不可气？”

We are still young and less sophisticated so it's common to be involved and I won't complain about it. But why aren't you counted in? I feel really uncomfortable. Aroma is afraid that he got too much, so she is not angry with it, which is reasonable. To be fair, who is better than him？ Before he is hospitable and careful, we are not even close to him if he was not. But I am angry because both Sunny Cloud Formation and Beautiful Frost are listed in the first-class. On the countrary, people chase after him relying on my mom's majesty.

Little Red said,"It's not necessary to annoy them.As the saying goes,'a long tent built from a thousand mile,but the feast does not last forever.'Who will keep it forever?Who will care about each other after 3,or perhaps 5 years ?Everyone will just do their own business."Good Orchid's heart was touched by these words that her eyes turned red.As she felt embarrassed to cry for no reasan,she barely smiled, "What you said is true.Yesterday Precious Jade mentioned how to clean the house and make clothes tomorrow.

小红听了，冷笑两声，方要说话，只见一个未留头的小丫头走进来，手里拿着些花样子并两张纸，说道：“这两个花样子，叫我描出来呢。”说着，向小红撂下，回转身就跑了。小红向外问道：“到底是谁的？也等不的说完就跑。‘谁蒸下馒头等着你，怕冷了不成？’”那小丫头在窗外只说得一声：“是绮大姐姐的。”抬起脚来，“咕咚咕咚”又跑了。

After hearing it, Little Red sneers and is about to say something. Just at this time, a little girl who doesn't even have hair walks in with some embroidered ground patterns and two pieces of paper and says" I'm asked to depict these two embroidered ground patterns." She turns around and runs away after finishing her words. Little Red then asks loudly outward "Whose on earth are these? She doesn't even wait until I finish a sentence. Is anybody make you some steamed bun so that you are afraid they will be cold?" The little girl then has no choice but to answer outside the window"It belongs to Sister Beauty." After a quick answer, she then shot off and rushed away again.--[[User:Chen Tianyu|Chen Tianyu]] ([[User talk:Chen Tianyu|talk]]) 11:59, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

小红便赌气把那样子掷在一边，向抽屉内找笔，找了半天，都是秃了的，因说道：“前儿一技新笔放在那里了？怎么想不起来。”一面说，一面出神，想了一会，方笑道：“是了，前儿晚上莺儿拿了去了。”便向佳蕙道：“你替我取了来。”佳蕙道：“花大姐姐还等着我替他拿箱子，你自取去罢。”小红道：“他等着你，你还坐着闲打牙儿？我不叫你取去，他也不等你了。坏透了的小蹄子！”

Little Red felt wronged, rashly darted these patterns aside and searched the drawer for a writing brush. At last, she found nothing but hairless brushes. Therefore, she said, “where were the new one putting in recently? I cannot recollect it.” Meanwhile she was in a trance, thinking for a while, smiling, “Well. It was taken by Maid Oriole last night.” Then she asked Good Orchid, “You brings it for me.” Maid Oriole said, “sister Flower is waiting for the box that I take for her. You’d better take it by yourself.” Little Red said, “She is waiting for you? So that’s the reason why you still sit back at leisure? I won’t ask you to bring it back and she won’t wait for you.

说着自己便出房来。出了怡红院，一径往宝钗院内来。刚至沁芳亭畔，只见宝玉的奶娘李嬷嬷从那边来。小红立住，笑问道：“李奶奶，你老人家那里去了？怎么打这里来？”李嬷嬷站住，将手一拍，道：“你说，好好的，又看上了那个什么‘云哥儿’‘雨哥儿’的，连会子逼着我叫了他来。明儿叫上房里听见，可又是不好。”小红笑道：“你老人家当真的就信着他去叫么？”

Saying that, Little Red came out of her room, and then leave the Happy Red Court to the court of Precious Hairpin. She had just arrived at the Penetrating Fragrance Court when Nanny Li, the wet nurse of Precious Jade, approached. Little Red stopped and asked with smile:"Nanny Li! Where did you just go? Why are you coming from there?" Nanny Li sighed and answered:"You see, for good reason, he likes again some brother "Yun" or "Yu". And he just forced me to ask him to come. If let the Madame know, it would be another problem." The Little Red smiled:"So you'd really obeyed him and went to invite?"--[[User:Deng Lulu|Deng Lulu]] ([[User talk:Deng Lulu|talk]]) 12:35, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Saying that, Little Red came out of her room, and then leave the Happy Red Court to the court of Precious Hairpin. She had just arrived at the Penetrating Fragrance Court when she caught sight of Nanny Li, the wet nurse of Precious Jade, coming from the opposite direction. Little Red stood aside to wait for her and asked with smile:" Nanny Li! Where have you been? Why are you coming from there?" Nanny Li sighed and answered:" You see, for good reason, he likes again some brother "Yun" or "Yu". And he just forced me to ask him to come. If let the Madame know, there would be trouble." The Little Red smiled:"So are you really going to believe in him and ask him in?"--[[User:Deng Ruixin|Deng Ruixin]] ([[User talk:Deng Ruixin|talk]]) 08:19, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

李嬷嬷道：“可怎么样呢？”小红笑道：“那一个要是知好歹，就回不进来才是。”李嬷嬷道：“他又不傻，为什么不进来？”小红道：“既是进来，你老人家该别同他一齐儿来；回来叫他一个人乱硼，可是不好么！”李嬷嬷道：“我有那们大工夫和他走？不过告诉了他，回来打发个小丫头子，或是老婆子，带进他来就完了。”说着拄着拐一径去了。小红听说，便站着出神，且不去取笔。

Nannie Li said:“ So what?” Crimson laughed:” If Mr Yun knows what’s good for him, he won’t agree to come.” “He’s no a fool,” said Nannie Li. “Why shouldn’t he?” “ Any way, if he does come in,” said Crimson, “ you can’t just bring him in and then leave him, Mrs Li. You’ll have to take him back again yourself afterwards. You don’t want him wandering off on his own.” “ How busy I am! I haven’t got that much spare time.” said Nannie Li. “All I’ve done is just to tell him that he’s got to come. I’ll send someone else to fetch him in when I get back presently - one of the girls, or one of the older women, maybe.” She hobbled off on her stick, leaving Crimson standing there in a muse, her mission to fetch the tracing-brush forgotten.--[[User:Deng Ruixin|Deng Ruixin]] ([[User talk:Deng Ruixin|talk]]) 12:28, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

不多时，只见一个小丫头跑来，见小红站在那里，便问道：“红姐姐，你在这里作什幺呢？”小红抬头见是小丫头子坠儿。小红道：“那里去？”坠儿道：“叫我带进芸二爷来。”说着，一径跑了。这里小红刚走至蜂腰桥门前，只见那边坠儿引着贾芸来了。那贾芸一面走，一面拿眼把小红一溜；那小红只装着和坠儿说话，也把眼去一溜贾芸：四目恰好相对。小红不觉把脸一红，一扭身往蘅芜院去了。

Before long, a small girl ran towards there, see Little Red standing there, then asked: "red sister, you are here for what?" Little Red looked up and saw that it was the little girl Lassock Drop. Little Red asked: "Where are you going?" Lassock Drop said: "They told me to bring in the second master Rue." Saying that, she ran away. Here Little Red just walked to the bee-waist bridge door, seeing that Lassock Drop led Rue Merchant come. The Rue Merchant walked while longking at Little Red; that Little Red pretended to talk to Lassock Drop while give him a glance. Their eyes contacted and Little Red's face turned red. She turned to Hengwuyuan immediately.--[[User:Guo Zirui|Guo Zirui]] ([[User talk:Guo Zirui|talk]]) 12:49, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Little Red asked: "Where are you going?" Lassock Drop said: "They asked me to bring the second master Rue in." After saying that, she ran away directly. Here as Little Red walked to the bee-waist bridge door, Lassock Drop led Rue Merchant come. The Rue Merchant walked while peeping at Little Red.

这里贾芸随着坠儿逶迤来至怡红院中，坠儿先进去回明了，然后方领贾芸进去。贾芸看时，只见院内略略有几点山石，种着芭蕉，那边有两只仙鹤，在松树下剔翎。一溜回廊上吊着各色笼子，各色仙禽异鸟。上面小小五间抱厦，一色雕镂新鲜花样槅扇，上面悬着一个匾，四个大字，题道是：“怡红快绿”。贾芸想道：“怪道叫‘怡红院’，原来匾上是这四个字。”

Following Lassock Drop, Yun Merchant zigzagged his way to the Happy Red Court and were led out into the grounds after Lassock Drop announcing him first. In the grounds, Yun Merchant saw several piles of stones, banana trees, two red-crowned crane that were preening themselves under the pine trees. Hanging in the corridor, there were several birdcages in assorted colours where kept different kinds of rare and valuable birds. Five small "turtle-head houses" with a row of windows that were all engraved with the most fashionable designs hung a plaque, written four big characters, "Happy Red and Joyful Green"(Yi Hong Kauai Lv). Yun Merchant wandered:"No wonder it is called 'the Happy Red Court' since it is these four characters on the plaque."

正想着，只听里面隔着纱窗子笑说道：“快进来罢！我怎么就忘了你两三个月。”贾芸听见是宝玉的声音，连忙进人房内，抬头一看，只见金碧辉煌，文章熌烁，却看不见宝玉在那里。一回头，只见左边立着一架大穿衣镜，从镜后转出两个一对儿十五六岁的丫头说：“请二爷里头屋里坐。” 贾芸连正眼也不敢看，莲忙答应了，又进一道碧纱厨，只见小小一张填漆床上，悬着大红销金撒花帐子。

Rue Merchant was thinking about that while hearing a person smiling and saying across window screens within. “come in! How can I forget you for two or three months. “Recognizing Precious Jade’s voice, Rue Merchant entered the room quickly, looking up, and found the room was resplendent and magnificent but without him. Once turning back, Rue saw a cheval glass placed on the left. From the back of the glass, two girls about fifteen or fourteen years old came out, and said: “Please come in and have a seat, Second Master! “ Rue Merchant dared not see them directly, responding immediately, then, entered another green gauze cabinet, noticing a small lacquer bed hanging with red bed-curtain decorated with flowers and gold thread.--[[User:He Minghui|He Minghui]] ([[User talk:He Minghui|talk]]) 14:28, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

When thinking about that, Rue Merchant heared a person smiling and saying across the screen window. “Come in! How could I forget about you for two or three months.” Recognizing Precious Jade’s voice, Rue Merchant entered the room quickly, only to find the room was resplendent and magnificent, but Precious Jade was nowhere to be seen. He turned back and saw a big cheval-glass placed on the left. From the back of it came out two girls around fifteen or sixteen. They said, “Please come in and have a seat, My Second Master.” Rue Merchant dared not look at them directly and responded with an immediate “yes”. Then he entered another green gauze cabinet, noticing a red bed-curtain decorated with flowers and gold thread was hanging above a small lacquer bed.--[[User:Lei Heng|Lei Heng]] ([[User talk:Lei Heng|talk]]) 14:31, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

宝玉穿着家常衣服，靸着鞋，倚在床上，拿着本书；看见他进来，将书掷下，早带笑立起身来。贾芸忙上前请了安，宝玉让坐，便在下面一张椅子上坐了。宝玉笑道：“只从那个月见了你，我叫你往书房里来，谁知接接连连许多事情，就把你忘了。”贾芸笑道：“总是我没福，偏偏又遇着叔叔欠安。叔叔如今可大安了？”宝玉道：“大好了。我倒听见说你辛苦了好几天。”

Precious Jade was wearing his housecoat and slippers with a book in hands, lying in bed. Noticing Rue Merchant’s entering, he swiftly stood up with a big smile and put the book down. Rue Merchant showed his regards to Precious Jade in a hurry, and then he sat on a chair when Precious Jade invited him to do so. Precious Jade smiled, “after that month when I met you once, I expected you to come to my study room. But I was so occupied with countless trivial affairs constantly that I totally forgot about it.” Rue Merchant laughed, “It all attributed to my bad luck and Uncle happened to be in poor health. Does Uncle have recovered now?” Precious Jade said, “He is very fine now. However, I heared that you had been looking after him for days.”--[[User:Lei Heng|Lei Heng]] ([[User talk:Lei Heng|talk]]) 09:01, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

贾芸道：“辛苦也是该当的。叔叔大安了，也是我们一家子的造化。”说着，只见有个丫鬟端了茶来与他，那贾芸口里和宝玉说话，眼睛却瞅那丫鬟：细挑身子，容长脸儿，穿着银红袄儿，青缎子背心，自绫细折儿裙子。那贾芸自从宝玉病了，他在里头混了两天，都把有名人口记了一半；

Rue Merchant said, "A few days of hard work is also deserved. You are well again, which is at the same time our whole family's good return." When he was saying, a servant girl was giving him a cup of tea. Then Rue Merchant was talking with Precious Jade Merchant, but he was glancing at that girl who was thin and beautiful, with silver red cotton-padded coat, green satin vest and Zi Ling folding skirt. Since Precious Jade Merchant was ill, Rue Merchant has stayed in Precious Jade's courtyard for two days during which he memorized half of the girls that had a name.--[[User:Li Linyu|Li Linyu]] ([[User talk:Li Linyu|talk]]) 12:19, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

他看见这丫鬟，知道是袭人，他在宝玉房中，比别人不同，如今端了茶来，宝玉又在旁边坐着，便忙站起来道：“姐姐怎么替我倒起茶来？我来到叔叔这里，又不是客，让我自己倒罢了。”宝玉道：“你只管坐着罢。丫头们跟前也是这样。”贾芸笑道：“虽如此说，叔叔房里姐姐们，我怎么敢放肆呢。”一面说，一面坐下吃茶。那宝玉便和他说些没要紧的散话。

He saw this servant girl, knowing she was Aroma,different from others in Precious Jade's room. She coming to serve the drink at that time,with Precious Jade sitting next to him, Rue Merchant stood up promptly and said,"How can you serve me the drink? I'm not a guest in uncle's place. Let me do it myself." Precious Jade said," Just sit down. These servant girls are always like this." Rue Merchant laughed,"Nonetheless,How dare I use uncle's servant girls impudently."

又说道谁家的戏子好，谁家的花园好，又告诉他谁家的丫头标致，谁家的酒席丰盛，又是谁家有奇货，又是谁家有异物。那贾芸口里只得顺着他说。说了一回，见宝玉有些懒懒的了，便起身告辞。宝玉也不甚留，只说：“你明儿闲了只管来。”仍命小丫头子坠儿送出去了。出了恰红院，贾芸见四顾无人，便脚步慢慢的停着些走，口里一长一短和坠儿说话。

Precious Jade Merchant remarked whose opera singer was excellent, whose garden was beautiful, whose servant girl was good-looking, whose feast was sumptuous and who had rare treatures, etc. Rue Merchant was just catering to him. After the talk and seeing Precious Jade was kind of sluggish, Rue rose to bid him farewell. Precious Jade also let him go, and asked Lassock Drop to send Rue back, saying,"Feel free to come over any time if you are available tomorrow."

先问他：“几岁了？名字叫什么？你父母在那行上？在宝叔房内几年了？一个月多少钱？共总宝叔房内有几个女孩子？”那坠儿见问，便一桩桩的都告诉他了。贾芸又道：“刚才那个和你说话的，他可是叫小红？”坠儿笑道：“他就叫小红。你问他作什么？”贾芸道：“方才他问你什么手帕子，我倒拣了一块。”

Rue Merchant asked her:"How old are you? What's your name? How long have you been in Uncle Precious' branch? How many girls are in the Uncle Precious' branch in total?" Asked by him, Lassock Drop told him everything one by one. Again, Rue Merchant said:"Is Little Red her who talked to you just now?" Lassock Drop smiled:"She is Little Red indeed. Why do you ask her?"

坠儿听了笑道：“他问了我好几遍，可有看见他的帕子的。我那么大工夫管这些事！今儿他又问我。他说，我替他找着了他还谢我呢。才在蘅芜院门口说的，二爷也听见了，不是我撒谎。好二爷，你既拣了，给我罢；我看他拿什么谢我。” 原来上月贾芸进来种树之时，便拣了一块罗帕，知是这园内的人失落的，但不知是那一个人的，故不敢造次。今听见小红问坠儿，知是他的，心内不胜喜幸。

Hearing this, Lassock Drop laughed:“She asked me whether I saw her handkerchief for many times. But I don’t have time to deal with it. Today, she asked me again in doorways at Asarum Garden, saying that she will be grateful to me if I help her to find it. I don’t lie and second master must also hear that. Since you picked it, please give it to me so that I can see what she will get to thank me, my good second master. When Rue Merchant came to plant trees, he found a handkerchief.

又见坠儿追索，心中早得了主意，便向袖内将自己的一块取了出来，向坠儿笑道：“我给是给你，你若得了他的谢礼，可不许瞒我的。”坠儿满口里答应了，接了手帕子，送出贾芸，回来找小红，不在话下。如今且说宝玉打发贾芸去后，意思懒懒的，歪在床上，似有朦胧之态。袭人便走上来，坐在床沿上推他，说道：“怎么又要睡觉？你闷的很，出去逛逛不好？”

Precious Jade Merchant saw Lassock Drop asking for it again. He had an idea, taking out a piece of himself from his sleeve and saying with a smile to Lassock Drop, "I give it to you. If you get his thank-you gift, don't hide it from me." Lassock Drop promised, took the handkerchief, sent Rue Merchant out, and came back to find Little Red. After Precious Jade Merchant sent Rue Merchant out, he seemed lazy and crooked on the bed, as if in a hazy state.

When seeing this, Precious Jade held her hands and said:"I had wanted to leave but I could not get rid of you." Aroma laughed:"Get up quickly!" She said as pulling him up. Precious Jade asked:"But where should we go to play? I am really tired of these things." She answered:"You just go out and do not think about anything. The more you think about it, the less likely you will stem the staleness." Precious Jade seemed depressed and followed her lead. Once they got out of the gate, they teased with Twite in the alley. After getting out of the yard, they straightly walked along Qinfang brook, where they watched some goldfish for a while. At the same time, two deer ran towards them quickly as they were arrows.--[[User:Ma Feifei|Ma Feifei]] ([[User talk:Ma Feifei|talk]]) 11:17, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

宝玉不解何意，正自纳闷，只见贾兰在后面，拿着一张小弓儿追了下来。一见宝玉在前，便站住了，笑道：“二叔叔在家里呢，我只当出门去了。”宝玉道：“你又淘气了。好好的射他做什么？”贾兰笑道：“这会子不念书，闲着做什么？所以演习演习骑射。”宝玉道：“把牙磕了，那时候才不演呢。” 说着，便顺脚一径来至一个院门前，只见凤尾森森，龙吟细细，却是潇湘馆。

Precious Jade didn't understand what exactly Aroma had said. Just when he was wondering alone, he saw Cymbidium Merchant chasing down from behind with a small bow. As soon as Jia Lan saw Baoyu blocking the road, he stopped and said with a smile, "uncle was at home. I thought he was out." Precious Jade said, "you naughty boy has done bad things again. Why shoot him with a slingshot?" Jia Lan smiled and said, "I don't have to study at this time. I don't know what to do when I'm idle. Why should I sit bored? So I am practicing riding and shooting." Precious Jade said, "if you knocked your teeth, you wouldn’t keep talking about practice at that time." Saying this, Precious Jade followed the path and walked all the way to a courtyard, where he saw the plants in the yard grow very lush, like the tail of a Phoenix, as if there was a faint sound of a dragon.

宝玉信步走入，只见湘帘垂地，悄无人声。走至窗前，觉得一缕幽香，从碧纱窗中暗暗透出。宝玉便将脸贴在纱窗上往里看时，耳内忽听得细细的长叹了一声，道：“‘每日家，情思睡昏昏。’”宝玉听了，不觉心内痒将起来。再看时，只见黛玉在床上伸懒腰。宝玉在窗外笑道：“为什么‘每日家情思睡昏昏’的？”一面说，一面掀帘子进来了。

Precious Jade Merchant walks in, and saw the certain falls to the ground--everything was in a silence. Stepping close to the window, he smells a faint scent barely drifted over from the turquoise screen window. A soft voice.comes to his ears:"Every moment, I miss in lethargy." Precious Jade Merchant hears that, palpitating with excitement eager to see her. With another glimpse, he sees Mascara Jade scratching in bed.

黛玉自觉忘情，不觉红了脸，拿袖子遮了脸，翻身向里装睡着了。宝玉才走上来，要扳他的身子，只见黛玉的奶娘并两个婆子却跟了进来，说：“妹妹睡觉呢，等醒来再请罢。”刚说着，黛玉便翻身坐了起来，笑道：“谁睡觉呢？”那两三个婆子见黛玉起来，便笑道：“我们只当姑娘睡着了。”说着，便叫紫鹃，说：“姑娘醒了，进来伺候。”一面说，一面都去了。

黛玉坐在床上，一面抬手整理鬓发，一面笑向宝玉道：“人家睡觉，你进来做什么？”宝玉见他星眼微饧，香腮带赤，不觉神魂早荡，一歪身坐在椅子上，笑道：“你才说什么？”黛玉道：“我没说什么。”宝玉笑道：“给你个榧子吃呢！我都听见了。” 二人正说话，只见紫鹃进来，宝玉笑道：“紫鹃，把你们的好茶倒碗我吃。”紫鹃道：“那里有好的呢？要好的只好等袭人来。”

Mascara Jade sat on the bed，she raised her hands and fixed her hair，at the same time，she asked Precious Jade with smile，“I ’m going to sleep，why do you come here？” Precious Jade saw her star eyes slightly raised and her cheek was red，his mind was blind unconsciously. He slumped in the chair，smiled，“What did you say？” Mascara Jade answered，“None” Precious Jade then smiled，“Don’t lie to me，I have heard what you said. ” Nightingale came in when they were talking，Precious Jade smiled，“Nightingale，make me a cup of good tea.” Nightingale said，“There is no good tea，if you want a cup of good tea，you should wait for Aroma’s coming.”--[[User:Xu Zhiyuan|Xu Zhiyuan]] ([[User talk:Xu Zhiyuan|talk]]) 12:15, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

黛玉道：“别理他。你先给我舀水去罢。”紫鹃道：“他是客，自然先倒了茶来再舀水去。”说着，倒茶去了。宝玉笑道：“好丫头，‘若共你多情小姐同鸳帐，怎舍得叫你叠被铺床？”黛玉登时撂下脸来说道：“二哥哥你说什么？”宝玉笑道：“我何尝说什么？”黛玉便哭道：“如今新兴的，外头听了村话来，也说给我听；看了混账书，也拿我取笑儿。我成了替爷们解闷儿的。”

Mascara Jade said:"Ignore him. You firstly boil water for me."Nightgale said:"He is our guest.No doubt I should serve the tea before scooping."She poured tea as she was saying the words. Precious Jade smiled and said:"If I share the bed with your amorous maiden,how can I bear to let you fold the quilts and make the bed ?"Mascara Jade,with her expression changing instantly said:"What are you saying,my second brother?"Precious Jade smiled and said:"What on earth have I said?"Then Mascara Jade cried and said:"Nowadays you learned to make me heard some gossipy you got from outsides.Also,You paly tricks on me after having some light reading.

一面哭，一面下床来，往外就走。宝玉不知要怎样，心下慌了，忙赶上来说：“好妹妹，我一时该死，你别告诉去！我再敢说这样话，嘴上就长个疔，烂了舌头。” 正说着，只见袭人走来．说道：“快回去穿衣服，老爷叫你呢。”宝玉听了，不觉打了个焦雷一般，也顾不得别的，疾忙回来穿衣服。出园来，只见焙茗在二门前等着。宝玉问道：“你可知道叫我是为什么？”

Sobbing, Mascara Jade got out of bed and went out. "Dear sister," Precious Jade said, "I have made a damn mistake. Don't tell others about it! If I say anything like that again, there will be a whitlow on my mouth and my tongue will be rotten." As he said this, he saw Aroma approaching. "Go back and put on your clothes, master is calling you." Aroma said. Hearing this, Precious Jade felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He had nothing else to do but hurry back to dress. Out of the garden, he saw Tealeaf waiting in front of the second door.

焙茗道：“爷快出来罢，横竖是见去的，到那里就知道了。”一面说，一面催着宝玉。转过大厅，宝玉心里还自狐疑，只听墙角边一阵呵呵太笑，回头见薛蟠拍着手跳了出来，笑道：“要不说姨父叫你，你那里肯出来的这么快！”焙茗也笑着跪下了。宝玉怔了半天，方解过来，是薛蟠哄出他来。薛蟠连忙打恭作揖赔不是，又求：“不要难为了小子，都是我央他去的。”

Tealeaf said, “Come on my lord, you will get clear when you are there.” Saying this, he urged Precious Jade to hurry up. Passing the Hall, Precious Jade was still suspicious and he heard a cackle of laughter coming from the corner. Turning around, he saw Dragon Marshgrass jumping with hands clapping. Dragon Marshgrass laughed and said, “Sure you wouldn’t come out so fast if I hadn’t claimed that uncle was calling you!” Tealeaf also laughed and knelt. Precious Jade froze for a moment before he figured out that Dragon Marshgrass had just tricked him out. Dragon Marshgrass hastened to bow and apologize, begging,“Don’t embarrass the boy.

宝玉也无法了，只好笑问道：“你哄我也罢了，怎么说我父亲呢？我告诉姨娘去，评评这个理，可使得么？”薛蟠忙道：“好兄弟，我原为求你快些出来，就忘了忌讳这句话，改日你要哄我，也说我父亲，就完了。”宝玉道：“嗳哟！越发的该死了。”又向焙茗道：“反叛肏的，还跪着做什么？”焙茗连忙叩头起来。

Precious Jade could do nothing but ask with a awkward smile:"It is ok to just trick me,but,anyway,how could you mention my father ?I would love to tell this to my aunt and get her opinion on that,does it make any sense to you?"Dragon Marshgrass replied swiftly :"my good man ,I was originally intended to beg you to come out here quickly but forgot avoiding this sentence.(taboo) It is ok to mention my father if you will coax me next time.

薛蟠道：“要不是，我也不敢惊动，只因明儿五月初三日，是我的生日，谁知古董行的程日兴，他不知那里寻了来的这么粗、这么长、粉脆的鲜藕；这么大的西瓜；这么长、这么大的暹罗国进贡的灵柏香熏的暹罗猪、鱼。你说这四样礼物，可难得不难得？那鱼、猪不过贵而难得，这藕和瓜亏他怎么种出来的。我连忙孝敬了母亲，赶着给你们老太太、姨母送了些去。如今留了些，我要自己吃，恐怕折福，左思右想，除我之外，惟你还配吃，所以特请你来。可巧唱曲儿的一个小子又来了，我同你乐一日何如？”

Dragon Marshgrass said, "I wouldn't disturb you if it is not something special. Tomorrow is May 3, my birthday.

宝玉听说，心下猜疑道：“古今字画也都见过些，那里有个‘庚黄’？”想了半天，不觉笑将起来，命人取过笔来，在手心里写了两个字，又向薛蟠道：“你看真了是‘庚黄’么？”薛蟠道：“怎么看不真？”宝玉将手一撒与他看道：“可是这两个字罢？其实与‘庚黄’相去不远。”众人都看时，原来是“唐寅”两个字，都笑道：“想必是这两字，大爷一时眼花了，也未可知。”

Precious Jade heard about it and was a little skeptical, “I have seen many ancient and modern calligraphies and paintings, but I haven’t seen a ‘Geng Huang’.” He thought a while and ask his servant to take his brush pen. Precious Jade wrote two characters in his hand and asked Dragon Marshgrass, “did you see straight that characters ‘Geng Huang’?” Dragon Marshgrass said, “I have seen it clearly!” And Precious Jade opened his hand and show him that words, “Are those two characters?

赵姨娘叹口气道：“你瞧，那里头还有块成样的么？就有好东西也到不了我这里。你不嫌不好，挑两块去就是了。”马道婆便挑了几块，掖在怀里。赵姨娘又问：“前日我打发人送了五百钱去，你可在药王面前上了供没有？”马道婆道：“早已替你上了供了。”赵姨娘叹气道：“阿弥陀佛！我手里但凡从容些，也时常来上供，只是‘心有余而力不足’。”

The Lady Dowager sighed, "See, is there any good one?If there was something precious, it would not belong to me. However, you can pick some if you like." So Taoist Ma put some in her arms. "Several days ago, I have sent 500 cash for you to offer up a sacrifice to the Medicine King. Have you finished it yet?" the Lady Dowager asks. Taoist Ma replies, "I've already done it yet." The Lady Dowager sighed again, " Amitabha! I could usually offer up my sacrifice if my money was enough.

Taoist Ma said:"Rest assured that if you are promoted in your position when Cymbidium Merchant is old in the future,will you worry about how much merit you can make?"The Lady Dowager laughed and said:"Stop!Stop!Never mention it,this is the lesson. Can we keep up with the one in the room?Let it be that adults favor Precious Jade a little as he is still a good-looking child.There is only one master I defy!"she said,stretching out two fingers.Taoist Ma nodded and asked: "Is it Romance Merchant?"--[[User:Chen Kun|Chen Kun]] ([[User talk:Chen Kun|talk]]) 10:30, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

赵姨娘唬的忙摇手，起身掀帘子一看，见无人，方回身向道婆说：“了不得，了不得！提起这个主儿，这一分家私要不都叫他搬了娘家去，我也不是个人。”马道婆见说，便探他的口气道：“我还用你说？难道都看不出来。也亏你们心里也不理论，只凭他去。倒也好。”赵姨娘道：“我的娘！不凭他去，难道谁还敢把他怎么样呢？”
The Lady Dowager is so surprised that she shakes her hands in terror. After standing up and opening the curtain to find no one, she then turns around in relief and says to Taoist Ma " Bless my! Bless my! When it comes to this big shot, I have to say that I won't even be humane if he didn't take all the personal property to his hometown after the division." Listening to this, the Taoist Ma then says tentatively " Do I need you to tell me this? Isn't it obvious for all of us to notice that? You deserve it for you don't complain deep in your heart and just let it go. Anyway, maybe it's better though." The Lady Dowager says with a sigh "My lord!

马道婆道：“不是我说句造孽的话，你们没本事！也难怪。明里不敢怎样，暗里也算计了，还等到如今！”赵姨娘闻听这话里有话，心内暗暗的欢喜，便说道：“怎么暗里算计？我倒有这个心，只是没这样的能干人。你若教给我这法子，我大大的谢你。”马道婆听了这话打拢了一处．便又故意说道：“阿弥陀佛！你快休问我，我那里知道这些事？罪罪过过的。”赵姨娘道：“你又来了。

The Taoist Ma said,” Frankly speaking, you have no ability so that you dare not tackle openly but have done something in secret, still waiting.” After listening,the lady Dowager glad in the depth of her heart , said,” In secret? I wanted but had no the talented. I would appreciate you if you show me some ways.” Sensing that they both had same thing in mind, Ma pretended,” Amida Buddha! Don’t ask me that!

你是最肯济困扶危的人，难道就眼睁睁的看人家来摆布死了我们娘儿两个不成？难道还怕我不谢你么？”马道婆听如此，便笑道：“若说我不忍你们娘儿两个受别人委屈，还犹可，若说谢，我还想你们什么东西么？”赵姨娘听这话松动了些，便说：“你这么个明白人，怎么糊涂了？果然法子灵验，把他两人绝了，这家私还怕不是我们的。那时候你要什么不得呢？”

You are the most warmhearted person, how could you just sit and watch us two being tricked to death by others? Or you are afraid that I won't thank you?" The Daoist Ma heard that, laughed:"If you say I don't want you be bullied by others, that makes sense. But how could you think that I want something from you?

The Abbess Ma heard that and then laughed:" If you was to say that I am too tender-hearted to stand by and watch you two being wronged, you would be saying no more nor less than the truth. But I don’t know what you mean about pay, how could you think that I want to get something from you?" Aunt Zhao wavered in her mind and then added:" You are such a wise person, how could you be rather stupid now? If your method works well and cornered these two people, are you still afraid that all the belongings won't be ours? At that time you can get everything you want."--[[User:Deng Ruixin|Deng Ruixin]] ([[User talk:Deng Ruixin|talk]]) 08:47, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

马道婆听了，低头半日，说：“那时节事情妥当了，又无凭据，你还理我呢。”赵姨娘说：“这有何难？我攒了几两体己，还有些衣服首饰，你先拿几样去；我再写个欠银文契给你，到那时，我照数给你。”马道婆道：“使得。” 赵姨娘将一个小丫头也支开，连忙开了箱柜，将衣服首饰拿了些出来，并体己散碎银子，又写了五十两一张欠约，递与马道婆道：“你先拿去作个供养。”

Hearing that, Abbess Ma lowered her head for a while, and finally answered:“ When that time comes and you’re safely landed and I have no proof, you won’t want to have anything more to do with me.” Aunt Zhao said:“ That’s not a problem! I’ve got a few taels put by of my own savings and a bunch of clothes and jewelry. You can take some of each to be getting on with and I can give you an IOU promising to pay you so much later on.” Abbess Ma answered:“ Okay.” Aunt Zhao ordered the last slave girl out to do something with an excuse, hurried to open her cabinet and picked a number of clothes and jewelry, also with some taels of silver. Besides, she sealed an IOU of fifty taels of silver to Abbess Ma and said:“ You could take these as living expenses.”--[[User:Deng Ruixin|Deng Ruixin]] ([[User talk:Deng Ruixin|talk]]) 12:44, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

马道婆见了这些东西，又有欠字，遂不顾青红皂白，满口应承，伸手先将银子拿了，然后收了欠契。向赵姨娘要了张纸，拿剪子铰了两个纸人儿，递与赵姨娘，叫把他二人的年庚，写在上面；又找了一张蓝纸，铰了五个青面鬼，叫他并在一处，拿针钉了：“我在家中作法，自有效验的。”说完，忽见王夫人的丫头进来道：“奶奶可在这里，太太等你呢。”二人散了，不在话下。

Seeing these things and the IOU, Taoist Ma promised readily regardless of thinking. She reached out and took the silver first, and then took the IOU in. She asked The lady Dowager for a piece of paper, took the scissors and sheared two paper figures. Then she handed them to the lady Dowager, and asked her to write the two's birth years on it. Then she found a piece of blue paper and sheared five green-faced ghosts, asking her to put them together and nailed them with a needle. "I will do the spell at home and make it. " When she finished, she saw Lady King's maid suddenly came in and said, " Taoist really is here. Lady King is waiting for you."

却说林黛玉因宝玉烫了脸不大出门，倒时常在一处说闲话儿。这日饭后，看了两篇书，又同紫鹃等作了一会针线，总闷闷不舒，一同信步出来看庭前才迸出的新笋。不觉出了院门，来到园中，四望无人，惟见花光鸟语，信步便往怡红院来。只见几十丫头舀水，都在过廓上看画眉洗澡呢。听见房内笑声，原来是李宫裁、凤姐、宝钗都在这里。一见他进来，都笑道：“这不又来了两个。”

Mascara Jade Forest seldomly went out since Precious Jade's face was scalded, while she passed the time chatting with Precious Jade frequently now. One day after meals, Mascara Jade read pieces of writing, and then sewed with Nightingale for a while, but always felt moody. Accompanying with Nightingale, Mascara Jade wandered in front of the countryard to watch the new-sprouted bamboo shoots. She unconsciously walked out the Bamboo Lodge and came to the yard where Mascara Jade meet no one but the scent of the flowers and the chirps of the birds, then she strolled to the Happy Red Court. Mascara Jade saw dozens of maids watching the melodious laughingthrush wash itself as they scooped up water in the corridor. Hearing the laughter from the house, she knew that Silk Plum, Splendid Phoenix King and Precious Hairpin Marsh grass were all here. As Mascara Jade entered the room, all of them said with smiling, "There are two more coming. "——[[User:Han Jingru|Han Jingru]] ([[User talk:Han Jingru|talk]]) 09:11, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Precious Jade didn’t come to life until the morning of the fourth day. Suddenly, he woke up and talked to Grandma Merchant: ” I won’t stay at your house any more. So send me away, now.” Hearing this, Grandma Merchant was so hurt that she felt somebody had taken her heart and liver. Nanny Walk persuaded and said, “There is no need to be so grieved, Grandma Merchant.

" After Grandma Merchant heard this, her heart was broken with grief. She was abusing with tears and asked:" Who demand making coffins? Put him to death！ " which caused a total disorder. Suddenly in the air spread the sound of wooden fish indistinctly and someone was saying :"Namo Amitabha Buddha! We can cure those who have bad luck with the population, those who are unsettled in their homes, those who have been struck by evil spirits, or those who are in danger." So Grandma Merchant and Lady King ordered people to look for them in the street.--[[User:Wei Jingting|Wei Jingting]] ([[User talk:Wei Jingting|talk]])

原来是一个癞和尚同一个跛道士。那和尚是怎的模样？但见：鼻如悬胆两眉长，目似明星有宝光；破衲芒鞋无住迹，腌臜更有一头疮。那道人是如何模样？看他时：一足高来一足低，浑身带水又拖泥；相逢若问家何处，却在蓬莱弱水西。贾政因命人请了进来，问他二人：“在何山修道？”那僧笑道：“长官不消多话，因知府上人口欠安，特来医治的。”

It turned out to be a toady monk with a Lame Taoist. What’s the monk look like？ As you can see，his nose hangs like a gall bladder and his eyebrows are very long，his eyes like star shining with precious light. He wore shabby clothes and sandals and had no place to live，he is dirty with a head of acne. How about the Taoist？As you see，one foot high and the other low，he is covered with mud and water. If you meet him and ask where is he from，he will tell you in the west of Ruoshui River in Paradise, Fairy Tale Land. Master Merchant then ordered the servant to invite them in，and asked them：“Which mountain do you practice your wayways on?” The monk smiled and said，“You don’t need to say too much，I know someone in your family is not well, and I'm here to help you.--[[User:Xu Zhiyuan|Xu Zhiyuan]] ([[User talk:Xu Zhiyuan|talk]]) 07:59, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

贾政道：“有两个人中了邪，不知有何方可治？”那道人笑道：“你家现有希世之宝，可治此病，何须问方！”贾政心中便动了，因道：“小儿生时虽带了一块玉来，上面刻着‘能除凶邪’，然亦未见灵效。”那僧道：“长官有所不知，那‘宝玉’原是灵的，只因为声色货利所迷，故此不灵了。你今将此宝取出来，待找持诵持诵，就依旧灵了。” 贾政便向宝玉项上取下那块玉来，递与他二人。

Merchant Jia said:"There are two people bewitched. Can you tell me what kind of prescription to cure disease?" That daoist said with a smile:"There is valuble treasure in your family to cure this kind of disease,so it's unnecessary to ask for others."Merchant Jia had a tremble in his heart，and he said:"My son took a piece of jade engraved with words reading'It helps to drive fierce evil away.' when born,but we haven't seen its magical efficacy yet. "The taoist responsed:"Master,you are unfamiliar that the precious jew originally worked,but it didn't work because of fascination by sensuality. You can make it taken effect after taking it out to insist on reciting.

Merchant Jia said, "There are two people who are possessed by evil spirits. I don't know how to cure them." The Taoist smiled and said, "Your family has a very rare treasure in the world. It can cure this disease. Why should you ask for a prescription?" Jia was shaken, so he said, "Although my son brought a piece of jade with him when he was born, which was engraved with the words' can ward off evil and evil, 'I did not see the spiritual effect of this treasure." The monk said, "You do not know that 'precious jade' was originally spiritual, but it has lost its power because it is lost to sensual interests. You can make it taken effect after taking it out to insist on reciting.

那和尚擎在掌上，长叹一声，道：“青埂蜂下，别来十三载矣！人世光阴迅速，尘缘未断，奈何奈何！可羡你当日那段好处：天不拘兮地不羁，心头无喜亦无悲；只因锻炼通灵后，便向人间惹是非。可惜今日这番经历呀：粉渍脂痕污宝光，房栊日夜困鸳鸯；沉酣一梦终须醒，冤债偿清好散场。”

The monk took the jade in the palm of his hand, sighed and said, "Under the ridge of green, we have been separated for thirteen years! The world time flies, our fate has not broken. How to do! I envied your good then: nothing in heaven or earth could confine you, neither joy nor sorrow was in your heart; But because after forging into the soul, you came to the world to cause trouble. It is a pity that you have this experience today: the psychic jade is stained by rouge powder has lost its luster. Precious Jade spent all day and all night in the splendid house with girls.

念毕，又摩弄了一回，说了些疯话，递与贾政道：“此物已灵，不可亵渎，悬于卧室槛上，除自己亲人外，不可令阴人冲犯。三十三日之后，包管好了。”贾政忙命人让茶，那二人已经走了，只得依言而行。凤姐宝玉果一日好似一日的，渐渐醒来，知道饿了，贾母王夫人才放了心。众姊妹都在外间听消息，黛玉先念一声佛，宝钗笑而不言，惜春道：“宝姐姐笑什么？”

After finished murmuring, the monk rubbed the jade for a moment and raved a bit. He than passed the jade to Master Merchant and said, “This object has got soul and can not be blasphemed. It should be hung on the doorsill of the bedroom and every woman expect relatives is not allowed to touch it. After thirty-three days they will make good recoveries.” The two had left already before Master Merchant ordered tea for them, leaving him to perform what had been told. As expected, Sister Phoenix and Precious Jade got better day by day, they gradually recovered consciousness and could feel hungry. Seeing this, Grandma Merchant and Lady King were set at ease. While all the girls were listening to the news outside, Mascara Jade recited the Buddha with Precious Hairpin smiling without a word. “What is Precious Sister laughing at?,” asked Cherishing Spring. --[[User:You Xinning|You Xinning]] ([[User talk:You Xinning|talk]]) 11:50, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

话说宝玉养过了三十三天之后，不但身体强壮，亦且连脸上疮痕平复，仍回大观园去。这也不在话下。且说近日宝玉病的时节，贾芸带着家下小厮坐更看守，昼夜在这里；那小红同众丫鬟也在这里守着宝玉，彼此相见多日，都渐渐混熟了。小红见贾芸手里拿着手帕子，倒像是自己从前掉的，待要问他，又不好问的。不料那和尚道士来过，用不着一切男人，贾芸仍种树去了。

After 33days Precious Jade regained his strong constitution and the scar on his face recovered as well. He came back to the Prospect Garden. Let's leave it here. Merchant Rue along with the servants in the house have guarded Precious Jade round the clock. Little Red and other servant girls were also here taking care of Precious Jade. Seeing each other for several days, gradually they got acquainted. Little Red saw Merchant Rue took the handkerchief that resembled the one she previously has lost, so she wanted to asked him, but it's not convenient. Unexpectedly, that monk came and no man was needed here. Merchant Rue returned to plant trees. --[[User:Yu Ziqi|Yu Ziqi]] ([[User talk:Yu Ziqi|talk]]) 08:48, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

这件事待放下又放不下，待要问去又怕人猜疑，正是犹预不决神魂不定之际，忽听窗外问道：“姐姐在屋里没有？”小红闻听。在窗眼内望外一看，原来是本院的个小丫头名叫佳蕙的，因答说：“在家里呢，你进来罢。”佳蕙听了跑进来，就坐在床上，笑道：“我好造化！才在院子里洗东西，宝玉叫往林姑娘那里送茶叶，花大姐姐交给我进去，可巧老太太给林姑娘送钱来，正分给他们的丫头们呢，见我去了，林姑娘就抓了两把给我，也不知多少，你替我收着。”

This is something that she wants to forget but fails to; wishes to go and ask but fears to, in case being suspected of infidelity. So, she is now anxiously hesitating and desperately puzzling. Suddenly a voice asks from outside the window-- “Are you in the house, sister?” Hearing this, Little Red looks out through the window and finds out it’s a little girl in this house named Good Orchid. “I’m in the house, just come in.” She then answers. Hearing her, Good Orchid runs in and sits in the bed, laughing, “I was so lucky! I was washing something in the courtyard when Precious Jade asked to send tea to Miss Forest’s, so Big Sister Flower asked me to send it. By a happy coincidence that Miss Forest was handing out the money which had just sent her from Grandam, to her girls. And seeing my coming, she grabbed two hands of money to me. I don’t know how much money is here though. Please help me save them.”--[[User:Yuan Ling|Yuan Ling]] ([[User talk:Yuan Ling|talk]])

便把手帕子打开，把钱倒了出来，小红就替他一五一十的数了收起。佳蕙道：“你这一阵子心里到底觉怎么样？依我说，你竟家去住两日，请一个大夫来瞧瞧，吃两剂药，就好了。”小红道：“那里的话？好好的，家去做什么！”佳蕙道：“我想起来了，林姑娘生的弱，时常吃药，你就和他要些来吃，也是一样。”小红道：“胡说！药也是混吃的。”
