You’ve seen the golden waving cats of fortune, but few know their ancient cousin perched silently on Chinese rooftops: the Tile Cat (瓦猫).

Sun Wukong’s “Seventy-Two Transformations” go beyond shapeshifting. With a flicker of thought, he becomes beast, breeze, child, or crone. Gender, form, role, none can bind him.

His duel at Hulao Pass, where he took on the best fighters of the era, sealed his place as a true legend.

One of the things that gets lost in translation is how rhythmic & fun to read the prose of the original Journey to the West is.
Best way I can describe it is "Imagine if Dragonball was Written instead of Drawn"
Esp. when for most of its existence, this is how story would've actually been read:

Kabuki Ninja summons come from the Chinese game you've played, rock paper scissors (Snake Toad Slug), some Kabuki ninja have Chinese fathers teach em. Jiraiya's from a Song dynasty robs-assholes-helps-poor Thief that predates Robin Hood.
![Origins
The first known mention of the game was in the book Wuzazu [zh] by the Ming-dynasty writer Xie Zhaozhe [zh] (fl. c. 1600), who wrote that the game dated back to the time of the Han dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE).[17] In the book, the game was called shoushiling. Li Rihua's book Note of Liuyanzhai also mentions this game, calling it shoushiling (t. 手勢令; s. 手势令), huozhitou (t. 豁指頭; s. 豁指头), or huaquan (划拳).
Mushi-ken, the earliest Japanese sansukumi-ken game (1809). From left to right: slug (namekuji), frog (kawazu) and snake (hebi).
From China the game was brought to Japan.[18] Throughout Japanese history there are frequent references to sansukumi-ken, meaning ken (fist) games "of the three who are afraid of one another" (i.e. A beats B, B beats C, and C beats A).[18]
The earliest sansukumi-ken in Japan was apparently mushi-ken (虫拳), a version imported directly from China.[18][19] In mushi-ken the "frog" (represented by the thumb) triumphs over the "slug" (represented by the little finger), which, in turn prevails over the "snake" (represented by the index finger), which triumphs over the "frog".[18][19] (The Chinese and Japanese versions differ in the animals represented; in adopting the game, the Chinese characters for the venomous centipede (蜈蜙) were apparently confused with the characters for the slug (蛞蝓)).[19]
The most popular sansukumi-ken game in Japan[when?] was kitsune-ken (狐拳). In this game, a fox (狐), often attributed supernatural powers in Japanese folklore, defeats the village head, the village head (庄屋) defeats the hunter, and the hunter (猟師) defeats the fox. Kitsune-ken, unlike mushi-ken or rock–paper–scissors, requires gestures with both hands.[20]
Kitsune-ken was a popular Japanese rock paper scissors variant. From left to right: The hunter (ryōshi), village head (shōya) and fox (kitsune).
Today, the best-known sansukumi-ken is called jan-ken (じゃんけん),[19] which is a variation of the Chinese games introduced in the 17th century.[21] Jan-ken…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ebgc2if76vqhdtkcpneo36re/bafkreiadckibp7i5f6ngd4vcgook5cd2m3v4zpnp2s4xqux4gozvgydlym@jpeg)

The Lychee Road is another banger from the Chinese satirical comedy genre.
Set in the Tang dynasty, a small time official is assigned the impossible task of transporting lychee from the edge of China to the capital. It angrily condemns bureaucracy, making me laugh from frustration.
