Note 4.
And the portrait of Ho P'iao Yao
Hangs magnificently in the Lin Pavilion.
Ho P'iao Yao was a famous leader whose surname was Ho. He was given the pseudonym of P'iao Yao, meaning "to whirl with great speed to the extreme limit," because of his energy in fighting. His lust for war was so terrible that the soldiers under him always expected to be killed. After his death, the Emperor Wu of Han erected a tomb in his honour. It was covered with blocks of stone in order that it might resemble the Ch'i Lien Mountains, where Ho P'iao Yao's most successful battles had been fought.
The Lin Pavilion was a Hall where the portraits of distinguished men were hung.
