“We remember,” they whisper, “and do not forget her tale.” When the winds carry the ashes across the lands throughout the seasons, explain the librarians, this is a good omen for hsien and mortals alike. They burn a hundred golden orchids in memory of her name and from the Library of Earth’s great marble balcony, they scatter into the air the ashes mixed with their tears. And on the first day of planting each year, when earth’s soil, water’s coolness, metal’s sharp edges, wood’s growth and the sun’s fire come together in the farmers’ fields, these komuko repeat the story of Ah Kum Lam. With anger and fear in their hearts, the komuko hear the story of the fallen Wan Xian, and how from their treachery, barriers arose around the Middle Kingdom, denying the hsien ac-Ĭess to the August Personage of Jade. Laughing at the Monkey King’s antics, these kamuii learn the story of Hanumen and T’u, of how this unlikely pair brought the Tao Te Hsien to the Shinma. They hear the tales of days and nights that have come and gone. From the Age of Heaven to the present Age of Tribulation, many komuko have tended this immortal place. How am I different from other people? - David Kherdian (translation), Monkey: A Journey to the Westĭeep in the heart of the western mountains, where the rocky land meets sunset’s golden sky, stands the Library of Earth.
