phoenix's marrow and dragon's liver

subject somebody to brutal torture

Wind and dust

Burn famous string instrument for fuel and cook crane for meat -- offense against culture

shake off the dust from one's feet

be in full swing(be in the ascendant)

swarm around...like ants or bees

be conceited and self-willed

Full of merit

target of attack

Emergency management

hold the best strategic position and render the enemy helpless

Rich muscles and beautiful bones

Anger and evil

A moth flutters about the light--seek one's own doom.

recover one's original simplicity

Separate stars

go up in smoke

Feel helpless

domestic harmony
