《武則天傳》是林語堂英文作品集之一。The Pastor was not a follower of convention,SO the boys did not wear queues.Yutang was a little guy,deeply tanned,with a prominent forehead'a pair of sparkling eyes,and a narrow chin.Six miles later,when the skiff cameto Xiaoxi.the boys changed to a five.sail junk,and sailed toward Zhangzhou on West River.There were paddy fields and farmhouses on either side ofthe river.and tall mountains stood behind them,clad in grey-purplish hues.Yutang thought it inexpressibly beautiful.After a day's journey,the junk was tied up against the bank under some bamboo trees.Yutang was told to lie down,cover himself with a blanket and go to sleep. But sleep was the last thing on the boy's mind.The boatman sitting at the iunk,s stern was sucking at his pipe,and between gulps of bitter tea,telling stories about the Empress Dowager Cixi,who ruled the court today,having put the Emperor Guangxu under house arrest for supporting the reformers at the palace.Another junk was tied up on the opposite bank,brightly lit by lanterns.A soft breeze wafted sounds of merrymaking and music from a lute across the water.
