Leader: Precept Value
A sword for strength, a book for wisdom. Through life and death, there is no retreat.
Neither official nor common, they shape the realm with sword and spear. Neither scholar nor warrior, they pass on the teachings of a hundred schools. Their name and seat have changed time and again. Yet their heart for letters still burns like fire, and their grace still lingers like a dream. In the end, pen and sword alike become stories of the jianghu.
Stun the heaven with the sword's gleam; rest upon the evening clouds. What is there to say of this turbid world? Let it heed the cry of my jade dragon.
Rules
Writing and scholarship
Writing and scholarship, passed down for centuries, benefit scholars—this is the ambition of the Literary Ford. Elders may propose topics for the Literary Ford's selection; Sect Leaders may propose topics for debates. Approved entries bear the author's name, signifying an unbroken scholarly lineage.
Sages' words become the law for all under heaven.
