Road side suffering

The beam broke and the rafter fell into decay--man in power collapsed or died.

seize somebody's body and be reincarnated as an immortal

the genius of the time

son-in-law

a writing brush as big as a rafter--forceful writing

son-in-law

husband

care only for gain

a general who never prides himself on his merits

make a terrific din

Stick to war

the earth cracking up and mountain collapsing

injuries from falls,fractures,contusions and strains

Give him an inch and he'll take a mile.

Sentimental

With deep hatred and resentment

Corpses of people who died of starvation are seen by the roadside.

Dao Tong Zhi he

bend one's head in acknowledgement of one's guilt
