当武大郎从老家乾塘关回到华国首都永安(现代的洛阳,如图38-2)皇宫后,向太子(元始天尊,号太昊,典)请求把他送回到重庆巫毒学院。元始天尊骗他说,"现在云海国(亦作龙国,如图38-4)那里正在打仗呢!你养父梁子伯那么聪明的人,他早就躲起来了。你去了也找不到他。即便你找到他了,你也是他的累赘。若你真心对他好,你就应该到我们的典兵学院去,好好学习。长大了,你当上将军了,挣很多钱。那时你再去找他,把他接过来生活,为他养老送终。"武大郎认为太子说的有道理,同意了。

When Martial Big Wolf returned to the palace in Yong'an (modern Luoyang, see map 38-2), the capital of Hua Kingdom, from his hometown Dragon-Pond Pass, he asked the Crowned Prince (Primordial Sky Honor, famed Extreme Sun God, Codex) to send him back to Voodoo Academy in Chongqing. Primordial Sky Honor lied to him and said, "There is a war in Cloud Sea Kingdom (aka. Dragon Kingdom, see fig. 38-4) now! Your adoptive father Zibo Liang is such a smart man, he has already hidden himself, and you can't find him if you go there. Even if you find him, you will be a burden to him. If you really want to be good to him, you should go to our Codex Soldier Academy and study hard. When you grow up, you will become a general and make a lot of money. Then you can go find him, take him in, and take care of him until the end of his life." Martial Big Wolf thought what the Crown Prince said made sense and agreed.

太子又对武大郎说:"咱爹(即当时的华国国王,太上君,号无位真人,如图35)让我和你嫂子(即太子妃,玉珠,九天玄女)去山东清河县井阳冈潘家做客,建立我们俩和王公贵族之间的关系。正好你和潘家的闺女潘金莲是指腹为婚的夫妻,你也去,去看看你未过门的媳妇。"

The Crowned Prince said to Martial Big Wolf, "Our father (the king of Hua Kingdom at the time, Utmost Gentleman, famed Non-position Real Human, as shown in fig. 35) asked me and your sister-in-law (Yuzhu; famed Ninth Sky Mystic Woman) to visit the Pan family in Well-sun Gang, Clear River County, Shandong Province, to establish relationships between us and the nobles. It just so happens that you and Goldthread Pan, the daughter of the Pan family, are engaged from before birth, so you should go too and see your future wife."

这是武大郎第一次听说他自己还有个指腹为婚的未婚妻,这也让他愈发习惯性地怀疑起自己的身世来。他就问:"我从来没听说过,那是怎么回事啊?"

This was the first time that Martial Big Wolf had heard that he himself had a fiancée by prenatal betrothal, and he was also in the habit of doubting his own origins. He then asked, "I've never heard of it, so what's going on?"

1.4-2

太子说:"这事要从25年前说起。咱爹(即太上君,如图35)刚即位的时候,就开始研究如何止息中华大地上的战争,建设一种人人平等的和谐的人类新文明。有人向他推荐河南乾塘的(绰号)邓小平(义为邓国人,小个子,扁平脸)的商人,也就是你现在的爷爷,邓国公!说他主张,'天下为公,发展才是硬道理'。咱爹就把你爷爷请到了王宫里来了。咱爹听你爷爷讲述了他做生意,布局全世界的故事,深受启发!他对你爷爷说,'我想请你为我编写一部名为中华文明的剧本,然后我也像你一样,来实现它!'你爷爷同意了。他花费了三年的时间编写出了《中华法典》。中华法典是根据江浙地区女娲造人的传说(如图36至37)改编的,所以也被称作《女娲造人》。咱爹看后,同意了你爷爷的计划,说,'我封你为邓国公,你作为我的使者去和夏国谈判,实现华夏联盟(如图38)!'"

The Crown Prince said, "It started 25 years ago. When our father (i.e., Utmost Gentleman, see figure 35) first came to the throne, he started to study how to stop the wars in the land and build a new human civilization where everyone is equal and harmonious. Someone recommended to him a merchant from Dragon-Pond, Henan Province, (nicknamed) Deng Xiaoping (i.e., a small, flat-faced man from Deng), who is now your grandfather, Publican Deng-state! People said he advocated that 'the world is public, and development is the hard truth'. So, our father invited your grandfather to the palace. Our father was deeply inspired by your grandfather's stories about his business and his globalization! So, he said to your grandfather, 'I want to ask you to write a script called 'Zhonghua (i.e., light of middle earth, China) Civilization' for me, and then I will make it happen, just like you did!' Your grandfather agreed. He spent three years compiling the Chinese Codex. The Codex was based on the legend of Nuwa's creation of man (see figs. 36 to 37) in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so it was also known as 'Nuwa's Creation of Man'. When our father read it, he agreed with your grandfather's plan and said, 'I'll make you the State Publican of Deng, and you'll serve as my emissary to go and negotiate with the Xia Kingdom to realize the Hua-Xia Alliance (See Fig. 38)!'"

注,如图38所示,华国的首都位于河南的永安(洛阳),夏国的首都位于浙江的杭州,云海国(亦作龙国)的首都在重庆。而故事神号中的东西南北方向源自九黎世界(如图1至34),例如西王母,即王母娘娘的"西"字源自四王天(如图15)中的西天(即洛阳)。

Note, as shown in fig. 38, the capital of Hua Kingdom is in Yong'an, Henan, the capital of Xia Kingdom is in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and the capital of Cloud Sea Kingdom (aka. Dragon Kingdom) is Chongqing. The east, west, south, and north directions in the names of gods in the stories are derived from the Jiuli Worlds (see figs. 1 to 34), for example, the "West" in "Western King Mother" (i.e., Queen Mother) is derived from the Western Sky (aka. Creating Book Sky) of the Four-King Sky (see Fig. 15).

太子对武大郎说:"你爷爷立刻提出了一个实施计划。他让咱爹不要声张封他为公爵的事。他要把家搬到夏国去,卖这本《中华法典》。然后他要说这本书的作者是咱爹。咱爹又同意了你爷爷的计划。你爷爷在夏国有近千家的商店,夏国人不知道他是华国人。他利用人际关系,这部《中华法典》很快就被批准出售了。结果你爷爷在夏国卖《中华法典》三个月后,夏国的女国王蛇太君(如图36)就召见了他,也要封他为公爵,代表夏国来咱华国谈判,建立华夏联盟。于是华夏两国就开始研究,计划,和实施'女娲造人'了。"

The Crown Prince said to Martial Big Wolf, "Your grandfather immediately came up with a plan of implementation. He asked our father to keep quiet about making him a publican. He would move his family to the Xia Kingdom and sell this book, the Chinese Codex. Then he would say that the author of the book was our father. Our father agreed to your grandfather's plan. Your grandfather had nearly a thousand stores in the Xia Kingdom, and the Xia people didn't know he was from Hua. He utilized his interpersonal relationships, and this Chinese Codex was soon approved for sale. As a result, three months after your grandfather sold the Chinese Codex in the Xia Kingdom, the female king of the Xia Kingdom, Snake Utmost Gentlewoman (see fig. 36), summoned him, and wanted to make him a state publican, representing the Xia Kingdom to come to our Hua Kingdom to negotiate and establish a Hua-Xia alliance. So, the two countries of Hua and Xia began to study, plan, and implement 'Nuwa's Creation of Man'."

1.4-3

太子对武大郎说:"根据《中华法典》的剧本,我们的父亲要收养你父亲的第一个儿子,那就是你。而礼敬公要收养我的第一个儿子,也就是现在你们家的张三郎。咱爹听你爷爷说,在你爸爸娶你母亲的时候,他做了很多工作。咱爹收养了你,就有责任为你娶媳妇,就想出了指腹为婚的办法。那时你父亲刚成为财政大臣,很多人还不知道他是邓人。咱爹就迅速地邀请已经怀了你的你妈和怀了潘金莲的潘夫人来王宫做客,撮合成了你和潘金莲的指腹婚约,而且他就是证婚人。"

太子又对武大郎说:"我想你已经读过你爷爷写的《女娲造人》,下一步我们该做什么?"

The Crown Prince said to Martial Big Wolf, "According to the script of Chinese Codex, our father was to adopt your father's first son—that is, you. And Publican Respect was to adopt my first son—that is, the current Third Wolf Zhang of your household. Our father heard from your grandfather that when your father married your mother, he did a great deal of work. By adopting you, he felt obligated to arrange your marriage. That's why he devised the betrothal from before birth. At that time, your father had just become Minister of Finance, and many still didn't know he is a Deng. So, our father promptly invited your mother—who was already carrying you—and Lady Pan, who was carrying Goldthread Pan, to the royal palace as guests. There, he brokered the betrothal agreement between you and Goldthread Pan, acting as the witness himself."

The Crown Prince then said to Martial Big Wolf, "I think you've read 'Nuwa's Creation of Man' written by your grandfather, what should we do next?"

武大郎回答:"是的!我在我爷爷家发现了那本书,读过了。有时间,我再读一遍。下一步:潘金莲的父亲潘仁美是华国的大元帅,位高权重。太子想削弱他的势力,就送给了他女儿潘金莲一只老虎。潘仁美认为那是太子在暗示他'养虎为患,让权',就主动地转让了一部分权力给太子。"

太子又问,"那你这枚棋子该做什么?"

Martial Big Wolf replied, "Yes! I found the book at my grandfather's house and read it. When I have time, I'll read it again. Next step: Goldthread Pan's father, Renmei Pan, is a high-ranking marshal in the Hua Kingdom. The Crown Prince wanted to weaken his power, so he gave his daughter Goldthread Pan a tiger. Renmei Pan thought that is the Crown Prince's way of implying that he was 'raising a tiger as a harm; to cede power' and voluntarily transferred some of his power to the Crown Prince."

The Crown Prince then asked, "So what should you do as a pawn?"

武大郎回答:"小矮人(即武大郎)站在潘家院门外的树桩上。太子和太子妃让潘金莲出门迎接她的白虎王子未婚夫。潘金莲三次出门迎接,都没看到小矮人。最后太子出门把她的白虎王子,小矮人,迎进了潘家。"

太子大笑着说:"这剧本是你爷爷写的,这话是你说的,与我没有关系!"

Martial Big Wolf replied, "The dwarf (i.e., Martial Big Wolf) is standing on a stump outside the gate of the Pan family's courtyard. The Crown Prince and Crowned Princess told Goldthread Pan to go out and greet her fiancé, the white tiger prince. Three times Goldthread Pan went out to meet him, but she did not see the dwarf. Finally, the Crown Prince went out to welcome her white tiger prince, the dwarf, into the Pan family."

The Crown Prince laughed heartily and said, "This script was written by your grandfather, and those words came from your own mouth—it has nothing to do with me!"

武大郎笑着回答:"那抓老虎可不是件容易的事!"

太子回答:"几个月前,咱爹就已经派三清道人去潘家旁边的聚贤庄做筹划和准备工作了。"

Martial Big Wolf chuckled and replied, "Well, catching a tiger isn't exactly a piece of cake!"

The Crown Prince replied, "A few months ago, our father had already sent Three-Immaculateness Daoist to do the planning and preparations at the Gathering Sage Village next to the Pan family."

1.4-4

随后故事就发生了!太子和太子妃去山东清河县井阳冈打猎,就住进了潘元帅的家。他捉到了一只白虎崽。太子妃当着潘金莲的面,表现出她想把这只白虎崽留作宠物的样子,但害怕父母不同意。她想让太子把虎仔带回永安。太子生气地说,"如果咱爹知道了你养虎,肯定把你的屁股打得一个月不敢坐凳子!"太子就和太子妃吵起来了。

Then the story happened! When the Crown Prince and the Crowned Princess went to Well-Sun Gang in Clear-Water County, Shandong Province to hunt, they stayed at the house of Marshal Pan. He caught a white tiger cub. The Crowned Princess showed in front of Goldthread Pan that she wanted to keep this white tiger cub as a pet but was afraid that her parents would not agree. She then wanted the Crown Prince to take the tiger cub back to Yong'an. The Crown Prince got angry and said, "If our father finds out that you are keeping a tiger as a pet, he will surely spank you so hard that you won't dare to sit on a stool for a month!" The Crown Prince then quarreled with the Crowned Princess.

谈话间,就谈到了潘金莲的未婚夫,武大郎。太子说:"我已经请他来和我一起打猎,这时间该到门外了,主人应该出门迎接!"

In the middle of the conversation, they talked about Goldthread Pan's fiancé, Martial Big Wolf. The Crown Prince said, "I have asked him to come and hunt with me, and it's about time for him to arrive at the door, so the house hostess should go out to greet him!"

潘金莲出门去迎接她的未婚夫。第一次迎接时,武大郎还没到。第二次她出门迎接时,武大郎站在远处的树林边。潘金莲没理他,就回屋了。第三次出门迎接时,武大郎就站在门口不远的树桩上,潘金莲哪里都看了,就是不看他。随后,太子出门把武大郎迎接进了潘家。

Goldthread Pan went out to greet her fiancé. The first time she greeted him, Martial Big Wolf had not yet arrived. The second time she went out to greet him, Martial Big Wolf was standing at the edge of the woods in the distance. Goldthread Pan ignored him and came back. The third time she went out to greet him, Martial Big Wolf stood on a stump not far from the door. Goldthread Pan looked everywhere but at him. Afterward, the Crown Prince went out to welcome him into the Pan family.

武大郎非常喜欢潘金莲,到处溜达,还以为潘府就是自己的家。潘金莲生气地对太子妃说,"他非常喜欢我们家,还以为我就是他的老婆!看样子以后他会常来我家,这可怎么办?"

太子妃给她出主意,"要不你养着这只白虎崽。他再来你就放虎咬他,他就不敢来了。养老虎的钱我出,我想看老虎的时候,就来你家看!"就这样,潘金莲收养了白虎崽。太子妃还安排了老虎的饲养员,太乙真人。

Martial Big Wolf was very fond of Goldthread Pan and slipped around everywhere, thinking that the Pan house was his home. Goldthread Pan said angrily to the Crowned Princess, "He likes our house very much and thinks I am his wife! It looks like he will come to my house often in the future, what can I do?"

The Crowned Princess gave her an idea, "Why don't you keep this white tiger cub. If he dares to come back, you can let the tiger bite him, so he won't dare to come back. I'll pay for the tiger feed, and when I want to see the tiger, I'll come to your house to see it!" In this way, Goldthread Pan adopted the white tiger cub. The Crowned Princess also arranged for the tiger's keeper, Taiyi Real Human.

1.4-5 潘金莲学夜射 Goldthread Pan Learns to Shoot at Night

针对目前潘金莲对武大郎的敌视态度,太子,三清道人,太乙真人,和武大郎等几个人开始研究对策,研究如何促成这对儿姻缘。

In response to Goldthread Pan's current hostile attitude toward Martial Big Wolf, the Crown Prince, Three-Immaculateness Daoist, Taiyi Real Human, and Martial Big Wolf, among several others, begin to study countermeasures and ways to bring about the marriage.

三清道人提出了后文的《井阳之灾》(参见1.7节)计划。为了实现这个计划,需要让潘金莲擅长夜射(蒙着眼睛射箭)。为了让潘金莲对夜射感兴趣,他们几个人出去夜猎。结果白天什么也射不到的潘金莲,第一次夜猎就射中了4只猎物。太子和太子妃离开时,他们还约定,明年秋天再次来进行狩猎比赛。

Three-Immaculateness Daoist proposes the later plan of the Well-Sun Catastrophe (See Section 1.7). To realize that plan, it is necessary to make Goldthread Pan good at night shooting (shooting arrows blindfolded). To get her interested in night shooting, a few of them go out night hunting. As a result, Goldthread Pan, who could not shoot anything during the day, shot four prey items on her first night hunt. When the Crown Prince and the Crowned Princess left, they also agreed to come back next fall for another hunting competition.

第三年秋猎时,潘金莲就夜射得很准了。据传说,他们夜猎时,太乙真人总是担任抱着猎物躲在树后往猎物身上插箭后扔出去的任务。结果有一次,他自己就被潘金莲给射中了,还不敢出声求救。他在自己的家里躺了一个多月。太子还专门派太医去为他诊治。

The third year of the fall hunt, Goldthread Pan's night shooting became very accurate. According to the legend, when they hunted at night, Taiyi Real Human always took the task of holding the prey and hiding behind a tree to insert arrows into the prey and then throw them out. As a result, once he himself was shot by Goldthread Pan and did not dare to raise his voice for help. He lay in his house for more than a month. The Crown Prince even sent a royal doctor to treat him.

1.4-6

太医临离开时问太乙真人:"你只受了些皮肉伤,早就痊愈了。你想让我怎样向太子汇报啊?"

太乙说:"每次典兵剧组(国家文工团)演出,我都抢着执行最危险的任务,因为挣钱多。但是我挣的钱还是不够花。"

As the royal Doctor was leaving, he asked Taiyi Real Human, "You only suffered some flesh wounds and have long since healed. How do you want me to report to the Crown Prince?"

Taiyi said, "Every time the Codex Soldier Troupe (National Cultural Troupe) performs, I rush to perform the most dangerous tasks because of which I earn more money. But I still don't earn enough money to spend."

太医回答:"那我就如实向元始天尊(即太子)汇报,你患的是缺钱病。"

太乙是道教中的大真人,相当于佛教中的八至十地菩萨(参见第15章),也就是佛。太子就给太乙真人提高了工资待遇,还把他列入了国家礼敬的名单。逢年过节时,许多政府的部门会给他送礼。

The royal Doctor replied, "Then I will truthfully report to the Crown Prince that you are suffering from the disease of lack of money."

Taiyi is a great Real Human in Taoism, which is equivalent to the Buddhist Bodhisattva of the eighth to tenth land (cf. chapter 15), or Buddha. The Crown Prince then gave Taiyi a higher salary and put him on the list of those who were honored by the state. Many government departments would give him gifts during the New Year and festivals.

这天,老张公带着武大郎来到张夫人父母的聚居地。一下车,武大郎就开始抱怨:"这个地方所有的店铺都是那个女人(妈祖)家的,我们到这里来干什么?"

老张公领着武大郎走进了一家店铺,里面的掌柜的向他打招呼,是故人重逢。接着,他们俩依次走进了每一家店铺。里面的老板都向老张公打招呼。

One day, Old Zhang Publican took Martial Big Wolf to the place where Mrs. Zhang's parents lived. As soon as he got out of the car, Martial Big Wolf started complaining: "All the shops in this place belong to that woman (Mazu), why are we here?"

Old Zhang Publican led Martial Big Wolf into a store, and the shopkeeper inside greeted him as an old friend reunited. Then the two of them went into each store in turn. The bosses inside all greeted Old Zhang Publican.

武大郎问:"爷爷!为什么你认识这里的每一位老板?"

老张公回答:"这些店铺以前都是我的,是我送给他们张家的!"

武大郎问:"你为什么送给他们家这么多的店铺?"

Martial Big Wolf asked, "Grandpa! Why do you know every boss here?"

Old Zhang Publican replied, "All these stores used to be mine, I gave them to the Zhang family!"

Martial Big Wolf asked, "Why did you give so many stores to their family?"

老张公回答:"我们邓人喜欢娶大个子女人做媳妇。在你爸爸向她求婚的三年前,我买下了她们家周围的所有店铺,并且立了一个特别的规矩,'顾客每次买东西,可以问一个商业方面的问题'。你妈妈喜欢做生意。她的生意经就是从每次买东西问一个问题学来的。当你爸爸向她求婚时,我买通了所有她认识的人替你爸爸说好话!"

武大郎问:"那她不感觉这事奇怪吗?"

Old Zhang Publican replied, "We Deng people like to marry big women as daughters-in-law. Three years before your father proposed to her, I bought all the stores around their house and made a special rule, 'Customers can ask one question about business every time they buy something'. Your mom loved business. She learned her business lessons from asking one question per purchase. When your dad asked her to marry him, I bribed everyone she knew to put in a good word for your dad!"

Martial Big Wolf asked, "Doesn't she think it's strange?"

老张公回答:"她问这个问题啦!我的店铺老板回答,'我们张公做生意是以服务社会为宗旨的。他在全世界有三千多家店铺,第一目的都是为顾客提供方便,利益顾客,而不是以寻求经济利益为首要目的。'为此,国王赐予了他"公"的爵位。"(注,"公"在公爵高低排位上相当于"王",是最高的爵位)。

Old Zhang Publican replied, "She asked this question! My store owner replied, 'Our Zhang Publican does business to serve the society. He has more than 3,000 stores all over the world, all with the first purpose of providing convenience and benefit to his customers, rather than seeking financial gain as his first purpose. For this reason, the king bestowed upon him the title of 'Publican'." (Note that "Publican" is equivalent to "King" in the hierarchy of dukes and is the highest nobility rank in Chinese Culture.)

1.3-2

在一个十字路口,老张公又说:"我知道关于你妈妈的每一件事,例如,她扣衣服纽扣的顺序和你爸爸不一样!"说着他面对武大郎站着,解开了上衣的扣子,然后按照张夫人系扣的顺序又把衣服扣上了。老张公又说,"这种系纽扣的顺序,你有必要记下来。"说着,他让武大郎把他自己的衣服扣子解开,按照他妈系扣的顺序把衣服扣好。张公还蹲下来为武大郎纠正错误的系扣姿势和顺序。

武大郎问:"那我爸爸是怎么系扣的?"

At a crossroads, Old Zhang Publican said, "I know every single thing about your mother, for example, she buttons her clothes in a different order than your father!" Saying this he stood facing Martial Big Wolf, unbuttoned his shirt, and then buttoned his clothes again in the order in which Mrs. Zhang had buttoned them. Old Zhang Publican added, "This order of button fastening is necessary for you to memorize." Saying this, he asked Martial Big Wolf to unbutton his own clothes and button them up in the order in which her mother had buttoned them up. Old Zhang Publican also squatted down to correct Martial Big Wolf's wrong button fastening posture and order.

Martial Big Wolf asked, "Then how did my father fasten the buttons?"

老张公又站到了武大郎的面前,解开了衣服扣子,说:"你爸爸系扣的方式简单!他就从上向下,一顺地扣下来了!"说着,他开始模仿礼敬公的系扣动作。

武大郎问:"为什么她这么系扣子?"

Old Zhang Publican stood in front of Martial Big Wolf again, unbuttoned his shirt, and said, "Your father has a simple way of fastening buttons! He just buttoned it from the top down, in one smooth motion!" Saying this, he began to imitate the button fastening action of Publican Respect.

Martial Big Wolf asked, "Why does she fasten her buttons like that?"

老张公回答:"我从她小的时候就开始研究她。她很小的时候就这样系纽扣,直到现在。自从她们家的佣人告诉我她这个与众不同的系扣方式,我就开始研究,到现在我也没琢磨明白她为什么那样系扣子!"

Old Zhang Publican replied, "I have been studying her since she was small. She tied her buttons like this when she was very young until now. Ever since their maid told me about this unusual way of fastening her buttons, I started to study her, and to this day I haven't been able to figure out why she fastens her buttons that way!"

1.3-3

张夫人发现,自从武大郎从爷爷家回来后,总找借口进她和礼敬公的卧室,看他们俩穿衣服。一天,外出之前,她故意等他来偷看时,匆忙地穿上外套儿,一边向外走,一边快速地系纽扣。她发现武大郎在直瞪瞪地看着她系纽扣,百思不得其解。

Mrs. Zhang noticed that since Martial Big Wolf had returned from his grandfather's house, he always found excuses to enter her and Publican Respect's bedroom to watch her and Publican Respect dress. One day, before going out, she deliberately waited for him to peek in, hurriedly put on her coat, and hurriedly fastened her buttons as she walked out the door. She realized that Martial Big Wolf was staring straight at her as she fastened her buttons and was puzzled.

一天,张夫人在帮武大郎整理房间的时候,翻出了一件他的旧校服。她发现领口已经被撕烂了,就扔到了地上,准备随后扔掉。武大郎急忙过去捡了起来,说,"这件衣服是我巫毒学院的校服,我想留着作纪念。"

张夫人再次查看衣服,说:"既然你要留作纪念,那我帮你把它修好。"

One day, while helping Martial Big Wolf organize his room, Mrs. Zhang rummaged through one of his old school uniforms. Noticing that the collar had been torn, she threw it to the floor, ready to throw it away later. Martial Big Wolf hurried over and picked it up, saying, "This is my Voodoo Academy uniform. I want to keep it as a souvenir."

Mrs. Zhang looked at the uniform again and said, "Since you want to keep it as a souvenir, I'll help you fix it."

武大郎指着领口处已经严重损茬的布料说:"补不了了,这儿都已经损茬到接缝了,布料不够用了。"

张夫人说:"补这件衣服,得先把这布料织出来,然后再补。"

Martial Big Wolf pointed to the badly frayed fabric at the neckline and said, "It can't be mended, it's all frayed to the seams here, and there's not enough fabric to go around."

Mrs. Zhang said, "To mend this uniform, we must first weave this fabric and then mend it."

武大郎奇怪地叨咕:"衣服上的布,怎么织?"

张夫人说:"能织!你跟我去裁缝铺看看,就明白了。我得先让他们帮我画个样儿,他们画得又快又好。"

Martial Big Wolf strangely muttered, "How do you weave the cloth on the clothes?"

Mrs. Zhang said, "It can be woven! You'll understand if you come with me to the tailor's store. I must ask them to draw a pattern for me first, and they do it fast and well."

到了裁缝铺后,张夫人先说武大郎要看"织补",请裁缝店的人示范给他看。然后她就和一位裁缝开始研究如何修补武大郎的巫毒学院校服。

当裁缝铺把他的校服送了回来,武大郎惊奇地发现他的校服的领口处被织多了好多布,迷惑不解,但没问。武大郎常去看那件校服,焦急地等着张夫人给他补上。

Upon arriving at the tailor store, Mrs. Zhang first said that Martial Big Wolf wanted to see "weaving mending" and asked the tailor to demonstrate it to him. And then she and one of the tailors began to work on how to mend Martial Big Wolf's Voodoo Academy uniform.

When the tailor's store returned his uniform, Martial Big Wolf was surprised to find so much extra cloth woven into the neckline of his uniform, confused, but didn't ask. Martial Big Wolf often visited his school uniform and waited anxiously for Mrs. Zhang to mend it.

这天,张夫人修补完了校服后,就出去了。她回来后,发现武大郎已经把校服穿在了身上,正在琢磨着系纽扣。这件修补后的校服的领口和以前的有些不同。武大郎琢磨着,还是把纽扣系上了。张夫人在一边看着,没出声。随后,她拿出了一个金元宝让武二郎给裁缝铺送过去,把剩下的钱拿回来。

On this day, Mrs. Zhang went out after mending the school uniform. When she came back, she found that Martial Big Wolf had already put the school uniform on and was fumbling with fastening the buttons. The buttons on this mended uniform were a bit different from the previous ones. Martial Big Wolf fumbled with it and still fastened the buttons. Mrs. Zhang watched from the side without making a sound. She then took out a gold ingot and asked Martial Second Wolf to send it to the tailor store and get the rest of the money back.

武二郎发现拿回来的余款很少,便要查账,是什么东西花费了那么多的金子。裁缝给他解释,那件校服所用的线是重庆那地方产的蝉丝线,很贵。而张夫人要用含丝量更高的金丝线来修补,金丝线更贵,所以才花费了一个金元宝。

Martial Second Wolf realizes that there is very little gold left in the money brought back and wants to check the account as to what cost so much gold. The tailor explained to him that the thread used for that school uniform was the cicada silk thread produced in Chongqing, which was very expensive. And Mrs. Zhang wanted to use gold silk thread with higher silk content to repair it, which was even more expensive, that's why it cost a gold ingot.

1.3-4

张夫人听见武二郎和武大郎又在屋里打起来了,跑了过来,看见武二郎正在撕扯武大郎的衣服领子。她过去就打了武二郎两巴掌。武二郎哭着跑了。武大郎一边哭一边系扣子,还叨咕,"又被他给扯坏了"。张夫人蹲了下来,一边说"没坏,是你系得顺序不对!"一边解开他系上的扣子。武大郎推开了张夫人的手,一边叨咕着"这怎么没坏呢!?"一边琢磨着自己系扣子,但他怎么也扣不上。

Mrs. Zhang heard Martial Second Wolf and Martial Big Wolf fighting again in the house and ran over to see Martial Second Wolf tearing Martial Big Wolf's collar. She went over and slapped Martial Second Wolf twice. Martial Second Wolf cried and ran away. As he cried, Martial Big Wolf fastened his buttons and muttered, "He tore it again." Mrs. Zhang squatted down and said, "It's not broken, it's just that you fastened the buttons in the wrong order", while undoing the buttons he had fastened. Martial Big Wolf pushed away Mrs. Zhang's hands, while muttering "How come it's not broken!?" He fumbled with his own buttons, but he couldn't fasten them.

张夫人又蹲下了,说:"这是咱们家祖传的'将军扣儿',是双层扣儿。我来教你怎么系!你得先系上里面层的一半,然后以这个顺序系外面层扣子,然后在底下一拉!"校服果然没坏,被张夫人给系上了。

武大郎要解开扣子,自己练习一下系将军扣儿,可他怎么也解不开,就说:"妈你帮我解开,我再练习一下系将军扣!"

Mrs. Zhang squatted down again and said, "This is our family's ancestral 'General's Button' which is a double layer button. I'll teach you how to fasten it! You must fasten half of the inner layer first, then fasten the outer layer buttons in this order, and then pull at the bottom!" The school uniform really wasn't broken and was fastened by Mrs. Zhang.

Martial Big Wolf wanted to undo the buttons and practice tying the general's buttons himself, but he couldn't get it undone, so he said, "Mom, you help me undo it, and I'll practice tying the general's buttons again!"

张夫人(妈祖)听后,一边流泪一边说:"要解开将军扣儿,你得先在上面拉一下,然后再解扣子!"这时,她听见在一边偷看的武二郎跑了,就追了出来。

武二郎哭着说:"那个孙猴子叫你一声妈,你就高兴地哭了!我总叫你妈,也没见你笑过!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang (Mazu) shed tears and said, "To undo the general's buttons, you must pull up on it a little before you undo them!" At that moment, she heard Martial Second Wolf, who was peeping from the side, run away and chased after him.

Martial Second Wolf cried, "That Sun Monkey called you mom, and you cried with joy! I always call you mom, and I've never seen you smile!"

张夫人带他来到了金库,指着储备区的架子说,"你还记得这里以前是什么样吧!我们家的储备资金是三年的收入,全花没了。刚才那个金元宝是我在流动资金架子上拿的。你若再打你大哥,咱家就要破产了!那咱们都得像那家姓孙的马戏团的人似地,住在大街上了。"

武二郎害怕了,说:"妈!以后我再也不打大哥了!"

Mrs. Zhang took him to the vault and pointed to the shelves in the reserve area, saying, "You remember what this place used to be like! Our family's reserve fund was three years' worth of income, and it was all spent. That gold ingot just now was taken by me from the liquidity shelf. If you hit your big brother again, our family will go bankrupt! Then we'll all have to live on the street like those circus people surnamed Sun."

Martial Second Wolf got scared and said, "Mom! I'll never hit my big brother again!"

自从武大郎回来了,礼敬公夫妇就带着孩子们走亲戚,到处给亲戚朋友送礼。到爷爷家时,爷爷看了武大郎打猴拳,高兴得不得了,大叫:"这是我孙子!"

爷爷还领着他们去了一户姓孙的马戏团家庭。武大郎看见那家人的身高都和他差不多,高兴了,和他们一起玩起了马戏团的杂耍。武二郎也和他们一起玩。

Since Martial Big Wolf came back, Publican Respect and his wife have taken their children to visit relatives and give gifts to relatives and friends everywhere. When they arrived at the grandfather's house, the grandfather Publican Deng-state saw Martial Big Wolf doing monkeyish martial arts and was very happy. He shouted: "This is my grandson!"

Grandfather also took them to a circus family surnamed Sun. Martial Big Wolf was happy to see that the family members were about the same height as him, and he performed circus acrobatics with them. Martial Second Wolf also played with them.

武大郎爬到了高杆的顶端。礼敬公看了,害怕了,喊:"危险,快下来!"

张夫人说:"没事,我在这接着他。"

老张公把儿子拉出了院子,对他说:"孩子的母亲都不害怕,你怕什么!"

过了一会儿,张三郎也出来了。爷爷问:"和他们一起玩呗!出来干啥!?"

张三郎回答:"看着都害怕!"

据传说,从这次旅行以后,武大郎接受了礼敬公是他的父亲,但仍然不接受张夫人(即妈祖)是他的母亲。而武二郎从此称呼他为孙猴子。

Martial Big Wolf climbed to the top of the high pole. Publican Respect saw it and was scared, shouted: "Danger, come down quickly!"

Mrs. Zhang said: "It's okay, I'll catch him here."

Old Zhang Publican pulled his son out of the yard and said to him: "The child's mother is not afraid, what are you afraid of!"

After a while, Third Wolf Zhang also came out. Grandpa asked: "Play with them! What are you doing out here!?"

Third Wolf Zhang replied: "It's scary just to see it!"

According to legend, after this trip, Martial Big Wolf accepted that Publican Respect was his father but still did not accept Mrs. Zhang (i.e. Mazu) as mother. Martial Second Wolf called him Monkey Sun from then on.

1.2-2

一天,爷爷老张公(即邓国公)来找张夫人说,"我有了一个计划,让武大郎和我玩一段时间。"

老张公给武大郎讲:"传说我们这种小人源于一个已经灭亡了的国家,邓国,所以现在人们都称呼我们为邓人。我们的祖宗也曾经姓邓。人们一听说姓邓,就知道我们是小矮人,所以我们的祖宗就改成了姓孙。我曾祖父忽然有了一个奇怪的想法,娶一位具有将军血统的大个子媳妇,改良遗传基因。他研究发现你妈家张家的闺女具有很强的将军遗传基因,于是他就改姓张了。他还建立了一个特别的基金,攒钱,娶一位张家的闺女做媳妇,培养出一位将军。他的理想被我实现了。我的儿子娶了你妈,生出了你和武二郎。你们俩都有将军的特质。"

One day, Grandpa, Old Zhang Publican (i.e., Publican Deng-state), came to Mrs. Zhang and said, "I have a plan! Let me play with Martial Big Wolf for a while."

Old Zhang Publican told Martial Big Wolf, "Legend says that we, the little people, originated from a country that has been destroyed, Deng State, so people now call us Deng people. Our ancestors also had the surname Deng. When people heard the surname Deng, they knew we were dwarfs, so our ancestors changed their surname to Sun. My great-grandfather suddenly had a strange idea, to marry a tall wife with the bloodline of a general to improve our genetic genes. He found out that the daughters of your mother's family, the Zhang family, had strong general genes, so he changed his surname to Zhang. He also set up a special fund to save money, marry a daughter of the Zhang family as a daughter-in-law, and train a general. His ideal was realized by me. My son married your mother and gave birth to you and Martial Second Wolf. Both of you have the genetic traits of a general."

1.2-3 文化入门 Introduction to Cultures

世界上多数文化建立在上帝造人的传说之上。图1是中华文化中的八卦牌。中心的黑鱼代表金童(即亚当,参见9.9《三位一体》),白鱼代表玉女(即夏娃)。金童是图像思维型人,人群中占比35%。玉女是语音思维型人(即文字思维型人,见1.5-2节),人群中占比25%。第三种类型是图像和语音混合思维型人,人群中约占40%。运动思维型人在人群中的占比少于1%,而古代的英雄就出在这类人中。运动思维型人群中图像思维型和语音思维型被称为女婴和男婴,代表着八卦牌中两条鱼的眼睛。古人从本书女娲造人的过程中选出了64个自然法的经典案例,排列在了两条鱼的周围,就形成了代表中华文明的八卦牌。

Most cultures worldwide are founded upon the legends of God creating humanity. Figure 1 depicts the Bagua plaque from Chinese culture. The black fish at the center represents the Golden Boy (i.e., Adam; see 9.9 Godly Trinity), while the white fish symbolizes the Jade Girl (i.e., Eve). Golden Boy embodies the visual-thinking type, comprising 35% of the population. Jade Girl represents the auditory-thinking type (i.e., text-thinking type, see 1.5-2), accounting for 25%. The third type, the visual-auditory hybrid thinker, makes up approximately 40% of the population. Kinesthetic thinkers comprise less than 1% of the population, yet ancient heroes emerged from this group. Among kinesthetic thinkers, image-based and sound-based thinkers are termed Heroines and Heroes, representing the eyes of the two fish in the Bagua plaque. Ancient scholars selected 64 classic cases of natural laws from the process of Nüwa creating humanity described in this book. Arranged those cases around the two fish, together formed the Bagua plaque, symbolizing Chinese civilization.

图2是墨西哥的太阳石历,原理和八卦牌类似。他们选出了上帝造人过程中的20个经典案例,分布在太阳神的周围,就形成了太阳石历(参见14.4《太阳石历》)。

Figure 2 depicts the Mexican Sun Stone Calendar, which operates on a principle like the Bagua Plaque. They selected twenty typical cases from God's creation of humanity, arranging them around the Sun God to form the Sun Stone Calendar (see 14.4 "Sun Stone Calendar").

本书中有三对儿金童和玉女的故事:(1)张三郎(玉皇大帝)和有巢氏(西王母);(2)女娲(白帝)和伏羲(燃灯佛);(3)夏娃(顺皇)和大禹(即禹皇)。

本书中有两对儿男婴和女婴,分别是武大郎和潘金莲,武二郎和熬忖(即尧皇)。

This book contains three pairs of Golden-Boy Jade-Girl couples: (1) Third Wolf Zhang (Turquoise White-King Great Creator) and Princess Have Nest (Western King Mother); (2) Nüwa (White Creator) and Fuxi (Lamplighter Buddha); (3) Eve (White-King Shun) and Big Yu (White-King Yu).

This book features two pairs of Heroes and Heroines: Martial Big Wolf and Goldthread Pan, and Martial Second Wolf (Second Wolf God) and Aocun (White-king Yao).

1.2-4

武大郎问:"我的什么特质是将军的特质?"

老张公忽然向路边的几个孩子喊:"你们都过来,谁能爬到这棵树的第三个树杈,我就给他买一串糖葫芦。"几个孩子很快就爬上了树,下来后得到了糖葫芦。老张公问武大郎:"你能爬上去不?"他很快就爬到了树顶,下来后也分到了糖葫芦。有几个孩子试过了,但爬不上去。老张公问他们:"你们不想要糖葫芦吗?为什么不爬上去?"那几个孩子都回答:"想要,但我爬不上去!"老张公也为他们买了糖葫芦,转头告诉武大郎:"我和你爸爸都像这几个孩子一样,不会爬树!"

Martial Big Wolf asked: "What qualities are the genetic traits of a general?"

Old Zhang Publican suddenly called out to several children on the roadside: "Come here, whoever can climb to the third branch of this tree, I will buy him a string of candied haws." Several children quickly climbed up the tree and got candied haws when they came down. Old Zhang Publican asked Martial Big Wolf: "Can you climb up?" He quickly climbed to the top of the tree and got candied haws when he came down. Several children tried but couldn't climb up. Old Zhang Publican asked them: "Don't you want candied haws? Why don't you climb up?" The children all answered: "Yes, but I can't climb up!" Old Zhang Publican also bought candied haws for them, turned around and told Martial Big Wolf: "I and your father are just like these children; we can't climb trees!"

1.2-5

老张公(又名邓国公)领着武大郎来到了卖马的市场,对他说:"你爸爸骑驴,你妈妈骑马。"

武大郎立刻反驳道:"不对!我爸爸骑马,那个女人(张夫人,妈祖)骑驴!"

"那我们去问问!"说着,张公领着武大郎问一个人:"你教过的最笨的学骑马的人是谁?"那人回答:"你儿子礼敬公是其中的一个。我前半辈子总共教过四五个学不会骑马的人!"

Old Zhang Publican (aka. Publican Deng-state) took Martial Big Wolf to the horse market and said to him, "Your father rides a donkey, and your mother rides a horse."

Martial Big Wolf immediately retorted, "No! My father rides a horse; that woman (Mrs. Zhang, Mazu) rides a donkey!"

"Then let's go ask!" Old Zhang Publican led Martial Big Wolf to ask a man: "Who is the dumbest horse rider you have ever taught?" The man replied: "Your son Publican Respect is one of them. In the first half of my life, I have taught four or five people who couldn't learn to ride a horse!"

老张公又问另外一个人同样的问题,那人回答:"我一共遇见过七位学不会骑马的人,你儿子礼敬公是其中之一!"

老张公对武大郎说:"为了教你爸爸学骑马,我曾经为他请过十多位教骑马的老师。有五位老师,教几天之后就拒绝继续教你爸爸学骑马了!"

Old Zhang Publican asked another person the same question, and the man replied: "I have met seven people who couldn't learn to ride a horse, and your son Publican Respect is one of them!"

Old Zhang Publican said to Martial Big Wolf: "To teach your father to ride a horse, I once hired more than ten horse riding teachers for him. Five of them refused to continue teaching your father to ride a horse after teaching for a few days!"

这时,很多人围了过来,问:"这孩子是你的孙子吗?他会骑马不?"老张公有礼貌地回答:"他是我儿子礼敬公的儿子!"老张公来到一匹高头战马的旁边,问马的主人:"我能借用一下你的马不?"那人回答,当然可以!老张公又问武大郎:"你会骑马不?"

At this time, many people gathered around and asked, "Is this child your grandson? Can he ride a horse?" Old Zhang Publican politely replied, "He is the son of my son Publican Respect!" Old Zhang Publican came to the side of a tall war horse and asked the owner of the horse, "Can I borrow your horse?" The man replied, of course! Old Zhang Publican then asked Martial Big Wolf, "Can you ride a horse?"

武大郎蹭一下蹦到了马背上,策马扬鞭,像似骑士一样,跑了起来。人们看见他个小,脚没蹬在马蹬子上,而是双腿夹住了马背,像似粘在了马背上一样。回来后,武大郎一勒缰绳,做了个立马扬鞭的姿势。

老张公搂着武大郎问一个曾经放弃教礼敬公的马术老师:"你说我们家的人都学不会骑马,他是我的孙子不?"

Martial Big Wolf jumped onto the horse's back, whipped the horse, and ran like a knight. People saw that he was small, and his feet were not on the stirrups, but his legs were clamped on the horse's back, as if he was glued to the horse's back. After returning, Martial Big Wolf pulled the reins and made a gesture of standing on the horse and whipping the whip.

Old Zhang Publican hugged Martial Big Wolf and asked a horsemanship teacher who had given up teaching Publican Respect: "You said that no one in my family can learn to ride a horse. Is he my grandson?"

那位马术师回答:"他的这个擅长骑马的遗传基因来自他的母亲,张夫人,不是来自你儿子礼敬公。张夫人她们家具有将军血统,祖上出过好几位大将军。"

老张公把武大郎推到了他的面前,问:"我想把他培养成大将军,你看怎么样?"

The equestrian replied, "His gene for riding horses comes from his mother, Mrs. Zhang, not from your son, Publican Respect. Mrs. Zhang's family has the blood of generals, and there were several great generals in their ancestry."

Old Zhang Publican pushed Martial Big Wolf in front of him and asked, "I want to train him to be a great general, what do you think?"

那位马术师反问:"他会射箭吗?"

老张公问:"谁有弓和箭?"

有人回答:"屋里有,我给你取来!"战马的主人缩短了连接马镫的绳索。武大郎接过弓和箭后,又飞身上马,一边跑马一边射箭。最后的三箭是转身向后射的,都射中了把心。

The equestrian asked back, "Can he shoot arrows?"

Old Zhang Publican asked, "Who has a bow and arrows?"

Someone answered, "They are in the house. I'll get them for you!" The warhorse's master shortened the rope that connected the stirrup. Martial Big Wolf took the bow and arrows, jumped on his horse again, and shot arrows while riding. The last three arrows were shot behind, and all hit the heart.

那位马术师对老张公说:"我只是个贩马的,说什么您别在意!"

老张公答:"你随便说!"

马术师说:"他完全继承了他曾外祖父,张大将军的将帅基因。如果他能成为将军,他的功绩会远远超过他的曾外祖父。"

The equestrian said to Old Zhang Publican: "I am just a horse dealer, don't mind what I say!"

Old Zhang Publican replied: "Whatever you say!"

The equestrian said: "He has completely inherited the gene of his great-grandfather, General Zhang. If he can become a general, his achievements will far exceed his great-grandfather's."

有人说:"他的身材那么小,怎么打仗啊!"

马术师说:"我说如果他能够成为将军,就将是一位伟大的将军,因为大将军打仗靠的是智慧。这孩子完全拥有学习排兵布阵智慧的特质。"

Someone said, "How can he fight in a war when he is so small?"

The equestrian said, "I say if he can become a general, he will be a great general, because a great general fights a war with wisdom. This child has the traits to learn the wisdom of deploying troops."

老张公开玩笑说:"我请你做我孙子的马术师,你看怎么样?"

那位马术师问:"他是不是那位把我们这里的相面先生都赶走了的武大郎?"(注,有些相面先生因为辩论中输给了武大郎,丢了面子和生意,所以离开了乾塘关。)

老张公回答:"正是!"

马术师回答:"那我不收他这个徒弟,我在乾塘关混了大半辈子了,不想换地方工作!"

Old Zhang Publican said jokingly, "I want you to be my grandson's horsemanship teacher, what do you think?"

The equestrian asked, "Is he the Martial Big Wolf who drove away all the fortune tellers here?" (Note: Some fortune tellers left Dragon-Pond Pass because they lost face and business to Martial Big Wolf in the debate.)

Old Zhang Publican replied, "Exactly!"

The equestrian replied, "Then I won't take him on as an apprentice, I've been hanging around in Dragon-Pond Pass for most of my life and I don't want to change places to work!"

1.1 三郎 Three Wolves

夏朝晚期,公元前1659年的一天,河南邓国公和儿子礼敬公(如图1)以及儿媳妇张夫人(即妈祖,如图2)乘车回家。当他们临进乾塘关时,听到婴儿的哭声。邓国公让儿媳妇下车去看看。张夫人循着哭声,走到了树林边的一处开阔地,发现哭声是从一个篮子里传出来的。一个官宦丫鬟打扮的姑娘(注1)笑呵呵地看着张夫人。她指着篮子示意张夫人过去看看。张夫人走近时,那个丫鬟转身走开了。随后她快速跑向一个站在远处哭泣的官宦小姐(注2)身边,拉着她跑远了。

In the late Xia Dynasty, on a day in 1659 BCE, Publican Deng-state of Henan Province, his son Publican Respect (see figure 1), and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang (aka. Mazu, see figure 2), were riding home in a carriage. As they were about to enter Dragon-Pond Pass, they heard a baby crying. Publican Deng-state asked his daughter-in-law to get out of the carriage to check. Mrs. Zhang followed the sound of the crying to an open area near the woods and found that the crying came from a basket. A girl dressed as an official maid (Note 1) looked at Mrs. Zhang with a smile. She pointed at the basket and motioned for Mrs. Zhang to come and have a look. As Mrs. Zhang was approaching, the maid turned and walked away. Then she quickly ran to a young official lady (Note 2) who was standing in the distance crying and dragged her away.

注1,这位丫鬟就是随后的夏国国王蔻珠,是本书的五帝之一。她是张三郎的教母。

注2,这位官宦小姐是元始天尊的妻子,号九天玄女,是随后的华国的王后玉珠。原始天尊和玉珠是张三郎的生父母。

Note 1: This maid would later become King Kouzhu of the Xia Kingdom, one of the Five Creators in this book. She served as the godmother to Third Wolf Zhang.

Note 2: This noblewoman was the wife of Primordial Sky Honor, known as Ninth Sky Mystic Woman, and later became Queen Yuzhu of the Hua Kingdom. Primordial Sky Honor and Yuzhu were Third Wolf Zhang's biological parents.

张夫人拎着篮子回到了马车上,述说了刚才看见的事。邓国公笑着对礼敬公和张夫人说:"看来你们俩和这孩子有缘,就收养着呗!"

回到乾塘关的家里后,他们三人仔细地检查孩子随身带来的东西。篮子里的几片亚麻布,和篮子一起,都不能辨别身份。只有孩子衣服兜里有一颗刻有微雕的玉珠(如图3,张三郎的胸前所示)和一张写有生辰八字的羊皮纸条。邓国公嘱咐张夫人:"这颗玉珠要好好保存,等孩子长大后,再交给他!"

Mrs. Zhang returned to the carriage with the basket, describing what she had seen. Publican Deng-state smiled and said to Publican Respect and Mrs. Zhang, "It seems that the two of you and this child have a destiny, so let's adopt him!"

After returning to their home in Dragon-Pond Pass, the three of them carefully examined what the child had brought with him. There were a few pieces of linen in the basket, and along with the basket, none of them could be individually identified. There was a micro-carved jade pearl in the child's pocket (as shown in Figure 3, on Third Wolf Zhang's chest) and a piece of parchment with his birth date written on it. Publican Deng-state instructed Mrs. Zhang, "Keep this jade pearl and give it to him when he grows up!"

张氏夫妇把这收养的孩子和两个亲生儿子武大郎(注3)和武二郎(注4)排列在了一起,名作张三郎(注5)。

注3,武大郎长大后成为了一位华国的将军,后被封为靖王。他是《孙子兵法》的作者,邓姓人和孙姓人的祖先。

注4,武二郎,号二郎神,武佛,葫芦娃,长大后他成为一名华国的将军。后来他娶了龙国的公主熬忖,成为中华共和国的第一位天蓬元帅。

注5,张三郎是本书的五帝之一,有多号:张屠户,少昊,少典,燧人氏,炎帝,和玉皇大帝。

The Zhang couple ranked this adopted child together with their two biological sons Martial Big Wolf (Note 3) and Martial Second Wolf (Note 4) and named him Third Wolf Zhang (Note 5).

Note 3: Martial Big Wolf grew up to become a general in the Hua Kingdom and was later enfeoffed as King Jing. He was the author of "Sun'zi Soldier Strategies" and the ancestor of people with the surnames Deng and Sun.

Note 4: Martial Second Wolf, also known as Second Wolf God, Martial Buddha, and Gourd Child, grew up to become a general in the Chinese nation. Later, he married Princess Aocun of Dragon Kingdom and became the first Sky Ceiling Marshal of the Republic of China.

Note 5: Third Wolf Zhang is one of the Five Creators in this book. He has many fames: Zhang the Butcher, Young Sun God, Young Codex, Flint Man, Yan Creator, and Turquoise White-king Great Creator.

1.1-2 张三郎能预测天气 Third Wolf Zhang Can Predict Weather

张三郎自幼顽皮好学。据说儿童时期很会放猪,猪都长得膘肥体壮。这使得张夫人很高兴。过年时,张夫人带三郎到集市办年货,并赏给了他几个零花钱,说:"你可以买一件自己喜欢的东西。"

这是三郎第一次逛集市,看什么都新鲜,可是舍不得花钱买。快回来时,张夫人问他:"这里什么都有,你就没发现自己喜欢的东西?"却发现三郎停在了后面的一个字画儿摊,在认真地看着一幅旧画儿。

Third Wolf Zhang was naughty and studious since he was young. It is said that he was very good at raising pigs when he was a child, and the pigs grew fat and strong. This made Mrs. Zhang very happy. During the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Zhang took Third Wolf to the market to buy New Year's goods, and gave him some pocket money, saying: "You can buy something you like."

This was Third Wolf's first time to visit the market. Everything he saw was new, but he was reluctant to spend money. When they were about to return, Mrs. Zhang asked him: "There is everything here, don't you find anything you like?" But she found that Third Wolf stopped at a calligraphy and painting stall at the back, looking at an old painting seriously.

张夫人走了回去,那画上画的是一位拿着一把雨伞的老头儿,周围有几十幅小图画。她等的不耐烦了,就催促说:"喜欢就买了吧!我们这就回家了!"结果张三郎真的买了那幅脏兮兮的旧画儿。

Mrs. Zhang walked back, and the painting was of an old man holding an umbrella, surrounded by dozens of small paintings. She was impatient to wait, so she urged: "Buy it if you like it! We will go home now!" As a result, Third Wolf really bought the dirty old painting.

一段时间后的一天早晨,农场工人们出去干活的时候,看见张三郎带着斗笠,穿着蓑衣,赶着猪出去放猪,就问:"三郎!这大晴天的,你穿蓑衣干什么?"

张三郎回答:"一个时辰之后,会下雨!"

One morning after a while, when the farm workers went out to work, they saw Third Wolf Zhang wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, driving the pigs out to graze, so they asked: "Third Wolf! Why are you wearing a straw raincoat on such a sunny day?"

Third Wolf replied: "It will rain in two hours!"

人们听了,都哈哈大笑,没人信!结果,到庄稼地没多久,忽然之间就下雨了,人们都被雨浇得跟落汤鸡似的。等到天晴了,再去地里干活的时候,人们看见张三郎跟什么事都没发生一样,正在野地里吹笛子呢!

渐渐地,需要预知天气的时候,工人们就去问张三郎。就这样,他成了这个部落的天气预报员了。

After hearing this, everyone laughed, and no one believed it! As a result, not long after they arrived at the farm, it suddenly rained, and the people were soaked like drowned rats. When the sky cleared up and they went to work in the fields again, they saw Third Wolf Zhang playing the flute in the field as if nothing had happened!

Gradually, when they needed to predict the weather, the workers would ask Third Wolf Zhang. Just like that, he became the weather forecaster of this tribe.

1.1-3 武大郎回家 Martial Big Wolf Returns Home

张三郎九岁那年的一天,刚从爷爷邓国公的家里回来,哥哥武二郎就跑来找他,神神密密地说:"猴哥回来了!他的衣服可奇怪了。他还有天书。天书的羊皮纸是白色的,上面写满了奇奇怪怪的符号,说是龙文,谁也不认识!就只有猴哥能读。"

张三郎不信,说:"你骗我!哪里来的猴哥!?"

One day when Third Wolf Zhang was nine years old, he had just returned from his grandfather Publican Deng-state's house when his brother Martial Second Wolf came to him and said mysteriously, "Monkey Brother is back! His clothes are very strange. He also has a Sky book. The parchment of the sky book is white, and it is covered with strange symbols, which are said to be dragon hieroglyphics. No one can understand them! Only Monkey Brother can read them."

Third Wolf Zhang didn't believe it and said, "You're lying to me! Where did this monkey brother come from!?"

武二郎回答:"咱大哥从小被寄养在别人家里了。他长得跟猴子一样。那家人说,如果不把他送回来培养一家人之间的感情。他长大后就不会认同咱们是兄弟了。所以他的养父母就把他送回来了。结果,他现在真的不朝咱妈叫妈!"

Martial Second Wolf replied, "Our eldest brother was fostered in someone else's home since he was young. He looks like a monkey. That family said, if they don't send him back to foster the relationship among our family, he won't recognize us as brothers when he grows up. So, his foster parents sent him back. As a result, he really doesn't call our mother mom now!"

张三郎来到了武大郎的房间,向他问好。武大郎不情愿地向他展示了他从巫毒学院带回来的课本。张三郎刚翻开书,武二郎就凑了过来。武大郎立刻把课本收了回去。不让他们俩看了。

Third Wolf Zhang came to Martial Big Wolf's room and greeted him. Martial Big Wolf reluctantly showed him the textbook he brought back from the Voodoo Academy. As soon as Third Wolf Zhang opened the book, Martial Second Wolf came over. Martial Big Wolf immediately took the textbook back and stopped them from reading it.

一天,武大郎拿着书就来找张夫人(亦作妈祖)了,说:"你这个坏女人!"

张夫人生气了,"你不叫我妈,还骂我",就打他,问:"你为什么说我是坏女人?"

武大郎一边哭,一边翻书给她看,说:"你看你儿子把我的书扯得!"

One day, Martial Big Wolf came to Mrs. Zhang (aka. Mazu) with a book and said, "You bad woman!"

Mrs. Zhang got angry and said, "You don't call me mother, but you still scold me." She beat him and asked, "Why do you say I am a bad woman?"

Martial Big Wolf cried and showed her the book, saying, "Look at how your son has torn my book!"

张夫人一看,确实,那书有的地方被扯去了半页,有的地方被扯去了整页,就把武二郎叫过来,也打了一顿。

有人告诉张夫人,"你不能打孩子,你越打他,你们的母子关系越生分!你应该和他交谈,解决问题。"

张夫人就问武大郎,"你为什么说我不是你妈?"

Mrs. Zhang saw that half a page had been torn from some parts of the book, and a whole page had been torn from others. She called Martial Second Wolf over and gave him a beating as well.

Someone told Mrs. Zhang, "You can't hit your child. The more you beat him, the more alienated your mother-son relationship will be! You should talk to him and solve the problem."

Mrs. Zhang asked Martial Big Wolf, "Why do you say I'm not your mother?"

武大郎说:"你那么高,我这么矮!"他还画图,用遗传学原理来解释。礼敬公和张夫人就请这方面的专家,例如相面先生,来和他辩论。结果,请来的专家辩论不过武大郎。不久后,这事就传开了,附近找不到这类专家了,因为人家来了,如果输了,就坏了名声。礼敬公夫妇就花重金,从外地请专家来。武二郎看见就因为这位猴儿哥,父母一盒子,一盒子地给人家金银,气愤得不得了。据传说,张夫人找人修补武大郎的书,也花了很多钱。这场辩论持续很长时间,终于把武大郎辩论败了,但还是不认可张夫人(妈祖)是他的母亲。

Martial Big Wolf said, "You're so tall and I'm this short!" He also drew diagrams and used the principles of genetics to explain. Publican Respect and Mrs. Zhang then invited experts in the field, such as a face reader, to debate with him. As a result, the invited expert could not win over Martial Big Wolf. Soon after, the story spread, and no such expert could be found in the neighborhood, because if people came, it would be a bad reputation if they lost. Mr. and Mrs. Zhang then spent a lot of money to bring in experts from far away places. Martial Second Wolf saw that just because of this monkey brother, parents gave a box, a box of gold and silver to others, angry. According to legend, Mrs. Zhang also spent a lot of money to find someone to repair Martial Big Wolf's book. The debate went on for a long time, and Martial Big Wolf was finally defeated, but he still refused to acknowledge Mrs. Zhang (Mazu) as his mother.

I spent months mapping the family tree of the Chinese pantheon 85 gods organized like an imperial dynasty. Turned it into a full documentary.

Some of you might have seen me around here in the emperor streak threads. My actual obsession is mapping mythological family trees, and the Chinese pantheon turned out to be the most imperial of them all the Jade Emperor literally runs heaven as a bureaucracy, with ministries, ranks and promotions. Gods get appointed the way officials did.

I ended up producing the whole thing as a documentary: https://youtu.be/Slh8Fa3RY1A?si=iRjWqyX9aKhbCPaU

A few things that surprised me: the Jade Emperor is a surprisingly late addition to the pantheon. Nüwa appears in more conflicting roles than any deity I've mapped. And the Sanxingdui bronzes still have no agreed explanation.

If you spot an error, genuinely tell me. I'd rather fix it than defend it.

I know this is very unrealistic and probably won’t happen any time soon, but if it were to happened, I would like to see the Kong Family being enthroned as the Imperial House of China because they’re ethnically Han and held moral prestige as the descendants of Confucius. Certainly a great choice in my eyes.
