Description

Take a bowl, fill it with dirt, and count to five. Plant a toad and watch it grow into a train; plant a soybean and see it turn into a tiger. Cultivate a craft, and you’ll reap a lifetime of comfort. In a world of three hundred and sixty professions, who truly commands the path? Observe the carpenter: with a flick of his ink line, he divides Yin and Yang, his interlocking joints anchoring the very corners of the world. Look to the blacksmith: his forge echoes through the heavens, his thousand hammer-strikes splitting the dawn from the dusk. Consider the ambitious tailor: shearing the tapestry of existence with a wisp of wind, her needle fixing the balance of the universe. And the ruthless cook: his stove burns with hellfire to stew the mortal realm, his blade rising with wind and thunder as he feeds the fire with bone. In Wansheng Prefecture, there are a thousand faces and infinite transformations. Amidst the bustling crowd, Zhang Laifu grins with pride: "Come on then! Follow me, and let’s go live the good life!"
