Shudan Guan Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 In his last words, Cao Cao wrote to his children, “My wives are hard-working and diligent, buried them in Tongquetai after their death, placing six-feet beds in the middle of it and put hangings around the beds. Serve them food every day and night; give performances on every first and the fifth day of the month. You should visit Tongquetai from time to time and watch my graveyard in Xiling. Use not the remaining of my incenses for ceremonies, keep them to my wives. My wives can learn to make shoes and cloth belts in their spare time for making a living.” [Annotation]香: Incense. 履: Shoes. [Definition] Refers to someone who still considers his family in his last moment. * If you are interested in Chinese folk tales or ghost stories, have a look at: https://chinesestoriesfolktales.quora.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
