CH 45

Chapter 45 - No rowing boats today either.

1 Updated Yang River to Yang Lake. I mixed up the characters the first time I translated it and then I just didn’t catch it until now? Lmao my bad. Top.

2 This is the same as the Zongmeng Union of Ch 24, but this time the author is using the same word for alliance/union for both of the perpendicular powers. Seems like the important part to remember is the prefixes: ‘Heng-’ for horizontal, and ‘Zong-’ for north-south vertical. Top.

3 有眼不識泰山 idiom that means to fail to recognise someone who is important or who has great talent. Taishan, or Mount Tai, is one of the five Sacred Mountains of china (some would say the most important one) and is considered a UNESCO world heritage site, so it’s a pretty big deal. Top.
