If the host offers you the pipe with the mouth-piece directed towards you, say: //This 

 canon does not shoot the people from the garden:" ( ] ) 



The five men left this canon to shoot the Tartar soldiers; 

 So don't shoot by mistake a Hung-brother. 

 Our Mother ( 2 ) in the flower-pavilion has told us this: 

 Henceforth forget old injuries and griefs.

If the host stops the hole of the mouth-piece with his finger, and he offers you the pipe 

 with the bowl downwards to you, saying: //The prince has not yet risen" ( 3 ), answer hini 

 with the folio win g quatrain: 



Heaven is high, Earth is broad, and yet they implore each otherj 

 The prince hereditary has taken the lead on your account. 

 Millions of Hung-soldiers remember their former lord, 

 And TV"ish to avenge their griefs together with the five founders.

If the host offers you the pipe with the mouth-piece downwards and the bowl stopped with 

 his hand, it means //rebellion against Heaven, opposition against Earth/' ( 4 ) The guest ought 

 to say this quatrain: 



It ( 5 ) does not reach Heaven, it does not reach Earth; 



The cloud-staff ( 6 ) bursts forth blue smoke. 



On the day when the brethern shall meet reunited, 



The iuexhaustible Bases ( 7 ) shall be before our eyes.
