This substantial article is a five-fold expansion. It is new enough and long enough. I have made no attempt to tackle the Chinese language references but the hook is sourced and the image is in the public domain. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:22, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review. The reference for the hook is a direct translation of some lines from Guo Jia's biography in the historical text Records of the Three Kingdoms. The lines are in Classical Chinese. You may approach any translator from Wikipedia:WikiProject China/Translation#Translators who reads Classical Chinese to verify, if you wish.
