1 March 2007. the heart knows the world's disguise
2 March 2007. leave the lies ill-concealed and the wounds never healed and the games not worth winning
3 March 2007. my cage has many rooms, damask and dark
4 March 2007. however you live, there's a part of you always standing by, mapping out the sky
5 March 2007. I am nothing, you are wind and devil and God
6 March 2007. no more curses you can't undo, left by fathers you never knew
7 March 2007. you impersonate a person better than a zombie should
8 March 2007. demons'll charm you with a smile for a while
9 March 2007. the challenge: bring order to the whole
10 March 2007. look into their eyes, and you'll see what they know: everybody dies

12 March 2007. I would murder him right there, but first I die
13 March 2007. and what if none of their souls were saved?

16 March 2007. gods are crumbling somewhere, machines are rumbling somewhere

18 March 2007. with so little to be sure of in this world, hold me
19 March 2007. how painful dreams can be unless you know they're merely dreams
20 March 2007. what was just a world is a star tonight
21 March 2007. you just shed a little blood, and a lot of people shed a lot of tears
22 March 2007. the farther you run, the more you feel undefined, for what you have left undone, and more, what you've left behind
23 March 2007. I'd want you beautiful and pale, the way I've dreamed you were
24 March 2007. forever, which is maybe the most horrifying word I ever heard of
25 March 2007. I can slay a dragon any old week
26 March 2007. too many people muddle sex with mere desire, and when emotion intervenes the nets descend
27 March 2007. sometimes when the wrappings fall, there's nothing underneath at all
28 March 2007. they do an awful lot of dancing, the dead
29 March 2007. take my blood and my body for your love
30 March 2007. so there's hell to pay and until I die, I'll die day after day
31 March 2007. it's the last midnight, it's the last wish

28 February 2006: return my heart when I am dead

07. cross my palm with silver, I cannot tell a lie
It's more of a gypsy thing than an actual wuxia theme, but it deals with fortunetelling on the streets, usually.

08. the concubine's laughter.
It's an old myth. The Emperor made his favourite concubine his wife, but she never smiled. He took her on a trip and she saw signal fires being ignited and began to laugh. People thought that they were being summoned to war, and thus came, but were angry that the fires were being ignited for nothing. As time passed, the Emperor discovered that his Empress would never laugh unless the signal fires were lighted, and it got to a point where when invaders really DID come and the fires were ignited, the people did not gather together and thus China was conquered.

11. at the sight of the ki-lin.
Confucius' mother was said to have been visited by the ki-lin, the Chinese version of the unicorn. She was told that her son would grow up to be a king among men, but without a throne. Generally speaking, the ki-lin is said to be a good omen and would appear to select people on rare occasions.

12. the chrysanthemum promise & 21. a thousand li
"The Chrysanthemum Promise" is the name of a folktale. I know there's a Korean version of it, and I think there's a Chinese one as well, though the variations are pretty similar, I believe. The story goes: a scholar falls gravely ill while in the Capital, and is nursed back to health by a fellow scholar and friend. He recovers, but not long after, is summoned back to his home province and must leave. Before his departure, the friends make a promise to meet again one year later in the Capital.
One year later, the friend prepares for this meeting, laying out a feast and waiting. The scholar finally appears in the hours before morning, and reunited at last, they speak together. As dawn approaches, however, the scholar must take his leave again, and even as the morning light falls on them, the friend realises that he is a spirit. He tells his friend that caught up in the affairs of his home province, he had forgotten of their promise, and remembered only on the night itself. With no other way to travel a thousand li ('li' is a way of measuring distance) in a single night and keep his vow, he had slain himself on his sword, that his spirit may keep his promise for him.

14. 4
The number 4 in Chinese sounds very similar phonetically to the word "death." It's considered a bad luck number.

19. the fairy's wish/demise
The Jade Emperor issued an edict in Heaven that no one may fall in love, and that the punishment for falling and acting on their love would end in death.

22. the ox's kindness
Again, several myths associated with this. In the story about the zodiac, the rat leaps onto the ox's back, which enables it to take first place. In the myth of the Cowherd and the Weaver, the ox tells the Cowherd to kill it so that the Cowherd could make a skin that would enable it to go to Heaven.

23. bridge of magpies
Related to the story of the Cowherd and Weaver, it is said that once a year, magpies would fly to Heaven and form a bridge so that the Cowherd and Weaver may meet

27. filial child
This is really a dimly remembered story from the depths of my childhood imagination, but I'm pretty sure this is a legitimate myth. XD It's the story of a wicked woman who was sent to the eighteenth level of hell for her ways, but her son, a pious monk and faithful son, descended into hell and said that he would take her place. They were both eventually released, and the mother was reformed.

28. return my heart when I am dead
As crazy as this one is, it's said that when someone dies, all their organs must be with them at the time of burial.

1 March 2006: Yes is a pleasant country
2 March 2006: Nothing false and possible
3 March 2006: A sunbeam's architecture; a mountain's heartbeat

24. As the gate clanged open to let them out, they stepped into a wan and awful darkness. The June day had risen long ago, but only a pale and yellowish gleam lit the half-deserted streets. And it was bitterly cold and raining.
"What is the matter with the day?" said Wimsey. "Is the world coming to an end?"
"No," said Parker, "it is the eclipse."
--Dorothy Sayers, Unnatural Death

25. From COLORS by Utada Hikari. Actual quote goes something like "ima no watashi wa anata no shiranai iro".

28. "It's very good jam," said the Queen.
"Well, I don't want any to-day at any rate."
"You couldn't have it if you did want it," the Queen said.
"The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday, but never jam to-day."
"It must come sometimes to 'jam to-day'," objected Alice.
"No, it can't," said the Queen. "It's jam every other day: to-day isn't any other day, you know."
-- Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass

29. Read The F(lipping) Manual

30. Resume
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
