《齐谐》者，志怪者也。《谐》之言曰：“鹏之徙于南冥也，水击三千里，抟扶摇而上者九万里，去以六月息者也。”野马也，尘埃也，生物之以息相吹也。天之苍苍，其正色邪？其远而无所至极邪？其视下也，亦若是则已矣。

There is the (book called) Qi Xie, a record of marvels. We have in it these words: ‘When the phang is removing to the Southern Ocean it flaps (its wings) on the water for 3000 li. Then it ascends on a whirlwind 90,000 li, and it rests only at the end of six months.’ (But similar to this is the movement of the breezes which we call) the horses of the fields, of the dust (which quivers in the sunbeams), and of living things as they are blown against one another by the air. Is its azure the proper colour of the sky? Or is it occasioned by its distance and illimitable extent? If one were looking down (from above), the very same appearance would just meet his view.

When a man named Nan Guo heard about this, he pondered to himself, thinking this is an amazing opportunity to fish for bucks. Therefore, he did everything possible to infiltrate this orchestra. Although he does not know how to play the yu at all, he just had to press a finger or two, nod his head a few times, and occasionally express that he is fully immersed to look like a real musician. As long as he doesn’t play out any sounds, no one would know if there was a mistake anyway.
