• The Wrestler in the Ultimate Contest
  • Sahng-jeh-nim said, “My work is like the ultimate contest of a wrestling tournament.
  • The one who is to win this contest remains asleep until people make a commotion, yelling, ‘The ultimate contest is coming!’ Then, he enters the ring and yells like thunder,
  • ‘Come see the ultimate contest. The last move is here. The tail of Gahp-ja is here. The yellow rooster crows for the second time.
  • Wrestlers in the ultimate contest, enter!’ Who will be his match?
  • Alas! All their efforts have been in vain. The person who is to win the ox has arrived. The others have danced in vain throughout the night.
  • The six instruments play loudly, and the ultimate contest is over.”
  • The Ultimate Contest Is for the Adults
  • One day, when walking on Phoenix Mountain accompanied by Bahk Gohng-ooh, Sahng-jeh-nim said,
  • “The mountain over there is Yellow Ox Mountain. Once the children and youths have wrestled, the ultimate contest is for the adults. In it, a yellow ox is offered to the winner.
  • The person in the ultimate contest has eaten a lot of meat and drunk much wine. He defeats his opponent with one shout then walks off with the yellow ox.
  • 10 The ultimate contest is for people with a sahng-du.”
  • Sahng-du, the Seven Stars
  • 11 When Gohng-ooh asked about the meaning of sahng-du, Sahng-jeh-nim answered, “Sahng-du (上斗) means the North Stars, which are the Seven Stars.”
