Was digging through my emails for something, and I stumbled over something my Korean friend sent me.

I'm probably a bad person for laughing, but it's so cute >.<

"

This is a story about 'Dumpling' legend.

During 14th century,in China, there lived a very poor person called Dumpling.He had to feed his big family and they lived in Lanzhou. Unfortunately, his wife was having a long illness and there was nothing he could do to recover her.

One late afternoon,as usual,Dumpling went for hunting which was how he spent most of his time after his work. He walked into the forest,fully armed with a set of wooden armours. He was looking for a lion as he was told that its meat would bring about a cure for his wife's illness. However, he could not find anything. Instead, the forest was full of old trees that had grown wild and dangerous.Even though he was scared,he decided to explore into the deeper forest.

The sky was getting dark but he had already forgotten about his fear. In front of him was a fascinating scene that he had never seen before. The plants with beautiful fowers were all over and birds were chirping.It was more like paradise, rather than the forest where the tigers would inhabit.Suddenly he saw a strange creature, an animal which he had never seen before. It was large with a black head, reddish body and white chest. It looked fierce and was passing by arrogantly. It was simply magnificient.

He knew by instinct that it was not just a lion. He took out a dagger from his poket and followed the creature surreptitiously. Then,all at once, he jumped out and stabbed the dagger into its back. The green blood squirted out of the wound and soon it fell onto the ground with a husky groan. The large body of the creature seemed at least twice bigger than his. Looking at the dead creature, his heart started to flutter in a gleam of hope.

When he was back home, the children were waiting for him. He was carrying the dead body of the creature which was extremely heavy. He was told by his eldest son that his wife had just passed away.

A drop of tear stole down his cheek. He consoled himself that there was still a hope.Not wasting a second more,he quickly cut the creature's meat and brought a slice to his house. His wife was lying helplessly on the bed. He opened her mouth and put it in. At that very moment,a flash of light streamed out from her mouth. For a little while,he could not notice any change of her and was about to give up. Then, her skin which had been pale white in colour returned to life.The man could not stop crying and hugged her tightly.

After three months later,he was told by his good friend that the creature was actually 'merlion',the spirit of the forest.His wife had recuperated her vigor again and there was still plenty of meat in his house to feed the whole village.Later, he started to use the meat to cook and he named the magical food 'Dumpling' .The story of 'Dumpling' has passed down till today.

He killed the spirit of the forest, and only good came of it.

Aside from that, who names their child Dumpling? Is this not a cruel thing to do?

Unless I'm terribly mistaken, there aren't any lions native to China, and there never have been.

Here's another good batch of Konglish -- or, in this particular case, "Junglish," named after the perpetrator, Jungho AKA Wannabe. Facebook is a goldmine when you have him on it XD

Yes, those stone guardian statues are lions, but lions themselves were only present as rare gifts to the Imperial throne, not running around being hunted for food. (Asiatic lions are native to India and central Asia, not China). Their traditional appearance is likely borrowed from Buddhist art from India.
