white crane spread the wings and get ready for flight

the light of day

see 不知好歹[bu4 zhi1 hao3 dai3]

friends become sworn brothers

not worth despising

be visibly stung

the only way

partly bright partly dark

to maintain an old acquaintanceship having no real understanding with each other

Diseases enter by the mouth.

be in most uncomfortable position like having spikes in the back(feel prickles down one's back)

half classical and half vernacular

All kinds of flowers are in blossom.

Hundred and two rivers

bouncing and vivacious(cut a caper)

neither priest nor layman--nondescript

the whole story(from the origins)

whip the fast and hard working-unfair punishment

not only style of writing is free and easy, but also fast

beyond measure(immeasurable; incalculable)
