On the deer terrace, Dah-Gee sat drinking with King Zhou. She suddenly changed her look: no longer bright and glowing, but pale and delicate, with just a trace of charm.

When the ministers heard that King Zhou had pardoned Jee-Chang, they were all relieved. But Jee-Chang was still grieving for Bo Yi Kao. He sighed, “My child, you should have stayed in Zhou, far away from Zhao Ge City. But you didn’t listen, and now you’ve met with disaster. Even a sage would not eat his own child’s flesh, yet as a father, I had no choice but to swallow it.” Send us a text Support the show

Then Bo Yi Kao said, “My father Jee-Chang has been locked up for seven years. I want to go to Zhao Ge City and trade our family treasures for his freedom.” His soldiers tried to stop him. They said, “Your father once said that after seven years he would return by himself. If you go, it would mean you disobey him. Better to send scouts to check first. You must not take this risk.” Send us a text Support the show

Last time, we ended with Nuh-zhah giving up his own life to keep the Four Dragon Kings from flooding Chen Tang Pass.

He was wearing a golden bracelet on his right wrist and a red piece of cloth on his chest with a shining lotus flower embroidered on it. Send us a text Support the show

Do you still remember the old veteran official we mentioned earlier—Shang Rong? When Prince Yin Jyow was captured and brought back to Zhao Ge City, Shang Rong followed along as well. Earlier, we said that Shang Rong had already asked for early retirement because he couldn’t stand the cruelty and corruption of King Zhou of Shang. But now, seeing the king trying to kill his own sons, Shang Rong decided to step up, relying on his “three-generations-of-service” title, and went into the palace to ...

The Shang Dynasty & Investiture of the Gods

Chinese History & Mythology ·

2025/09/01

Last time, we talked about the last king of the Sha dynasty — King Jie. He was famous — but for all the wrong reasons: cruelty, partying too much, and ignoring his people. And honestly? History shows us a clear lesson: When a ruler cares more about fun than his people, that empire’s days are numbered. And that’s exactly what happened to the Sha. Because of King Jie’s brutal rule, the Shang dynasty saw its chance to rise. Send us a text Support the show

Nuwa Creating Humans and Mending the Sky

Chinese History & Mythology ·

2025/08/27

If you know the story of Journey to the West, you should be aware that Sun Wukong was a monkey transformed from a stone. Some say this stone, which gave birth to Sun Wukong, was a leftover piece from the stones Nuwa used to mend the sky in ancient times, and it later became Sun Wukong. If you know another classic Chinese novel—Dream of the Red Chamber—then you must have heard that Jia Baoyu, the protagonist of the book, also has a connection to Nuwa’s stones.

The Creation of the World by Pangu

Chinese History & Mythology ·

2025/08/26

Hey, have you ever wondered how the world was created according to ancient Chinese stories? We have our own version of a creation myth. It's kind of like the Book of Genesis or the Greek myth of Chaos, but our creator was a giant named Pangu . The story goes that in the beginning, everything was inside a big, dark egg. Pangu slept inside it for ages. When he woke up, he broke the egg. The light parts floated up to become the sky, and the heavy parts sank down to become the earth. He stood bet...
