Week 6 Reading Diary: Chinese Fairy Tales

Edited by R. Wilhelm and translated by Frederick H. Martens (1921)


The one thing I wanted to know was how the princess was cursed with the bad luck or ill will? Did she do something that caused it or were her parents involved? In the story she could tell the beggar had good luck. How could she tell this?

She was only empress for 18 days before she died. I wonder if these 18 days were significant? Did they represent something?
