MarginaliaPostscriptThe character 群 (gun) means "flock" — a herd, a swarm, a cloud of small things
moving as one. The scoring is simple: every bird you keep alive earns its keep
each second. A larger flock earns faster, but presents more for the hawk.The painter sets the brush down. The scroll is rolled and tied with hemp.
