Wow! I haven't overestimated you at all, Moni!

1. Full marks!

2. That's Chuang Tzu. Spelling mistake!

3. It's the Shui Hu Zhuan by Shi Nai'an (trad. 1296 ~ 1370) -- the title being translated variously as Water Margin, Outlaws of the Marsh, or All Men are Brothers. The barbarian's

name is Wu Song. The novel's about the adventures of a band of heroes -- 108 of them, some female, too -- who form an insurgent peasant army in an attempt to overthrow the corrupt ruling dynasty. You can try find it at amazon.com if you're interested.

4. Close! It's the San Guo Yanyi or Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong (14th century). The man is Guan Yu -- or Guan Yunchang if you want the full name. I think there's someone on this message board who has named himself after him.

5. Full marks!

And for that you get a prize of... Uhhh, sorry, I haven't anything for ya... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
