Good afternoon everyone all around this beautiful world,

Lausl, Montgomery with you, as always,

with another Chinese Sayings Podcast episode.

Hard to believe this season is already coming to a glorious end.

I kid you not, I was able to convince Emma to come back one more time

for a bonus episode to cap another award-winning season of this

podcast show that never stares you wrong with any deceptive

we snagged another one from the San Guo Jer, the record of the Three Kingdoms.

This great classic from Antiquity covers those years of the fall of the eastern Han

clear through to the Three Kingdoms period.

Dach, Chih Wan Chung.

Daa means big or great, and Chi means a utensil of some sort, but in the case of this chang yu.

Wann means late and Chung means accomplish or succeed or to become or turn into.

And when you line it all up we get men of great talent late turn into.
