     From: Qing dynasty, 陸應暘, 聖朝鼎盛萬年青, chapter 15

     Shīgōng dézhī, lián sàng tā liǎng ge déyì ménrén, zìrán xīntòng, qiě fáng tiānxiàrén chǐxiào Wǔdāng Shān wǔyì bùjí Shàolínsì jīngmiào, qǐbù shī le wēimíng? [Pinyin]

     When my shigong knows that he lost two of his proud disciples, he will naturally have a heartache, and in preventing everyone from ridiculing that the martial arts of the Wudang Mountains is not as fine as that of the Shaolin Monastery, would he not lose his reputation?

   • 中國的兒童給大家特別看得起，那當然也很好，然而出來的題目就因此常常是難題，仍如飛劍一樣，非上武當山尋師學道之後，決計沒法辦。 [MSC, trad.]

     From: 1934 July 1, 魯迅 (Lu Xun), 難行和不信

     Zhōngguó de értóng gěi dàjiā tèbié kàndeqǐ, nà dāngrán yě hěn hǎo, rán'ér chūlái de tímù jiù yīncǐ chángcháng shì nántí, réng rú fēijiàn yīyàng, fēi shàng Wǔdāng Shān xúnshī xuédào zhīhòu, juéjì méifǎ bàn. [Pinyin]

     That everyone thinks especially highly of Chinese children is also very good of course, yet the questions that come up are often difficult. It is like flying swords: there is certainly no way to do it without going up to the Wudang Mountains to seek for a master and learn his ways.
