Grand Master of the Heavenly Stables

Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition Werner, E. T. C. (Edward Theodore Chalmers)
Open passage
In order to keep him occupied, Sun was appointed Grand Master of the Heavenly Stables, and was entrusted with the feeding of Yü Huang’s horses; his official celestial title being Pi-ma Wên. Later on, learning the object of the creation of this derisory appointment, he overturned the Master’s throne, seized his staff, broke down the South Gate of Heaven, and descended on a cloud to Hua-kuo Shan.
