――――A branch of red apricot on the wall

The swordsmen in the palace saw Zhao Wenwang mesmerized by the Sword of the Son of Heaven that Zhuangzi spoke of, they were all very jealous, and they all shouted, 'Your Majesty, don't listen to Zhuangzi's nonsense; how could the Sword of the Son of Heaven be hidden in an ant's eye?' Isn't this just deceiving children? If it truly exists, Your Majesty, please have Zhuangzi produce the Sword of the Son of Heaven he spoke of from the ant's eye, so we too can see it and broaden our horizons.

The ministers also said, 'Your Majesty, if Zhuangzi is not just boasting, then please have him bring out the Sword of the Son of Heaven and perform a few moves for everyone to see.'

Zhao Wenwang thought the swordsmen and ministers' words made some sense. He then said to Zhuangzi, 'Listening to your rambling blather for half a day, my head has been made dizzy by you; you speak of true and false, false and true. I also don't know whether what you say is true or false. Everyone demands that you take the Sword of the Son of Heaven out of the ant's eye, give a few swings, let us all broaden our horizons and gain insight—how about that?'

The swordsmen, ministers, and King Zhao's such demand had long been anticipated by Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi, hearing the king's words, readily agreed, saying, 'Very well, my fellow disciple Kongzi once said, "Words must be followed by actions, actions must bear fruit."'

"Can we start now?" the king asked.

"Not yet able to start."

"Why?"

Why? Your Majesty, think about it: the Sword of the Son of Heaven is made with Pearl Peak as the sword tip, Mount Tai as the blade, the states of Qin, Qi, Chu, Wei, Zhao, Han, and Yan as the sword's back, wrapped with the Changjiang, bound with the Huang He, and entwined with the Bohai Sea; using the Five Peaks as the cord, balancing with the Five Elements, judging with punishment and virtue; employing Yin Yang to open and transform, using spring and summer to support, using autumn and winter to move. This sword, when thrust forward, can sweep away thousands of troops like rolling a mat, unstoppable in all directions; under heaven none can resist it, none can fail to defeat it; when raised high, it towers like the heavens, covering the sky and blocking the sun, bringing sorrowful clouds and dim light, with ghosts wailing and wolves howling; when pressed down, like Mount Tai pressing the summit, it cuts nails and slices iron; anything that strikes it turns to powder, anything that touches it becomes dust; when moving left and right, it is like auspicious clouds enveloping, killing intent soaring to the heavens, its might shaking the four directions. Your Majesty, with such a huge sword, how could this palace possibly accommodate it? Furthermore, when the Sword of the Son of Heaven is wielded, it is like Mount Tai pressing the summit, sweeping thousands of troops like rolling a mat, victorious in every battle, causing no collapse, reaching everywhere with lush growth. Its sharpness is unmatched, cutting nails and slicing iron; those who strike it become powder, those who touch it become dust. If it ever strikes or touches someone, turning them into dust and powder, Your Majesty, you should not blame them?
