THE LEGEND OF CHANGXI: Reflections on the Role of Myth

Bhäraté:  Changxi? I have no idea what that word means . . .

An-Yi:    Not surprising. Most people outside the Sinosphere know so 
          little about China.

Bhäraté:  I barely know about my own country. It's even harder to know 
          about distant lands.

Daiki:    Well, in the Internet age there are no distant lands.

Chariya:  A wise person once said, "if you know yourself then you will 
          understand everything in the cosmos."

Bhäraté:  (chuckling) That's utter nonsense! Perhaps Changxi can 
          explain?
