On a moonlit riverbank, a traveller in a wide hat and cloak stands with their back turned, a long cloth bundle on one shoulder, while a lantern-hung ferry crosses under a boatman's pole; willows and a lit wine shop stand on the near bank, and a fire burns on a far hilltop.
This group holds people who acted outside the usual order: leaders who raised uprisings, and assassins and knights-errant whom the records remember for a killing or a chivalrous deed. Their deeds come down through the standard histories, notebooks and legend, and judgements of them vary, so the texts here state what they did without praise or blame.
