Translated by ck 2021-08-28 •==================================• *Notes :* 1. *Ling-Ling* : Efficaciousness, i.e. the quality of something inanimate or abstract being successful in producing a desired or intended result. 2. *Monkey King* : The legendary monkey described in the 16th century Chinese novel “Journey to the West”, in which he is one of three bodyguards of the buddhist monk Tang Sanzang (唐三藏) in his pilgrimage to the west (India). He is endowed with magical power and martial skills, and fights off all sorts of adversary along the journey, including the many seductive sirens who try to derail his master from reaching his destination. •en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_King 3. *Dong-Dong-Chiang* : the sound of drum and gong, the instruments most often used in the praying rituals of Chinese traditional religious practice. 4. *Tian-Ling-Ling, Di-Ling-Ling* : “Tian” means the sky or heaven. “Di” means the land or earth. These two phrases are the chants used in prayer, asking for graces from heaven and earth to make the wish come true, i.e, efficacious. -------------------- Suggested English syllable allocation in the sentence corresponding to the Chinese version is noted below. Number at the end of a sentence denotes syllable count.
