	Chun Jiang
		Fan Li ruled Yue and pacified Wu, and so (was able to) excuse himself (from office and) relax on the Five Lakes, and see the clouds while enjoying a boat, paddling in the waves at springtime (?).

	The Planetary Society of Japan : Column
		In this town of ancient China, when King Gou Jian of Yue was suffering from shortage of food in a battlefield, someone gave him rice.
		If it is North Korea today, no one knows where it will be supplied to, but King Gou Jian combined the rice with hundreds times more of water and took a sip of the soup together with soldiers.
		This is the reason that Japanese put the sugar in the low quality wine to make it better tasted in those days of Manchukuo military occupation, which has become a common practice today to put the sugar in even the best quality imported wines as if to know the right way of tasting the wine.
