The cauldron is a reference to a story in the <i><a href="/wiki/Zuo_Zhuan" title="Zuo Zhuan">Zuo Zhuan</a></i> in which <a href="/wiki/King_Zhuang_of_Chu" title="King Zhuang of Chu">King Zhuang of Chu</a> enquired the weight of the <a href="/wiki/Nine_Tripod_Cauldrons" title="Nine Tripod Cauldrons">Nine Tripod Cauldrons</a> – revealing his secret desire to seize the <a href="/wiki/Mandate_of_Heaven" title="Mandate of Heaven">Mandate of Heaven</a>. The deer is a reference to a remark by <a href="/w/index.php?title=Kuai_Tong&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Kuai Tong (page does not exist)">Kuai Tong</a> recorded in the <i><a href="/wiki/Records_of_the_Grand_Historian" class="mw-redirect" title="Records of the Grand Historian">Records of the Grand Historian</a></i>: "the <a href="/wiki/Qin_dynasty" title="Qin dynasty">Qin emperor</a> lost his deer, and <a href="/wiki/Tianxia" title="Tianxia">all under heaven</a> chased after it". The deer symbolises the <a href="/wiki/Baixing" title="Baixing">common people of China</a>, who are at the mercy of ruthless warlords vying to conquer the lands of the fallen Qin dynasty. </p><p>As Lü explains to his son, in Chinese history, the cauldron has been used both to cook hunted deer and as an instrument of torture for human beings. In the Chinese language, "asking about the cauldrons" and "chasing the deer" both signify the desire to become Emperor, while "not knowing who will kill the deer" indicates uncertainty about who will become Emperor. "It may be uncertain who will kill the deer, but the deer gets killed all right. There's no uncertainty about that." </p><p>In the afterword, Jin Yong wrote that his intention in writing the novel was to reflect societal and cultural realities instead of encouraging readers to imitate an unprincipled protagonist. In a 2006 interview, Jin Yong revealed that he considered changing the novel's ending to give Wei Xiaobao his just deserts, but he abandoned the idea after receiving pushback from readers.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Plot">Plot</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Deer_and_the_Cauldron&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Plot"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The story centres on a witty, sly, illiterate and lazy protagonist, Wei Xiaobao, who was born in a brothel in <a href="/wiki/Yangzhou" title="Yangzhou">Yangzhou</a> in the mid-17th century during the early <a href="/wiki/Qing_dynasty" title="Qing dynasty">Qing dynasty</a>. By chance, the teenage scamp helps an outlaw evade the authorities and follows him to <a href="/wiki/Beijing" title="Beijing">Beijing</a>, where Wei is kidnapped and taken to the <a href="/wiki/Forbidden_City" title="Forbidden City">imperial palace</a>. To survive there, Wei impersonates an <a href="/wiki/Eunuch" title="Eunuch">eunuch</a> and strikes up an unlikely friendship with a young <a href="/wiki/Kangxi_Emperor" title="Kangxi Emperor">Kangxi Emperor</a>. </p><p>One day, Wei Xiaobao encounters the <a href="/wiki/Tiandihui" title="Tiandihui">Tiandihui</a> ("Heaven and Earth Society"), a secret society aiming to overthrow the Qing dynasty and restore the Ming dynasty. He impresses Chen Jinnan, the Tiandihui's leader, who becomes his <i><a href="/wiki/Shifu" title="Shifu">shifu</a></i>. Besides, he also becomes one of the Tiandihui's lodge leaders and agrees to serve as their spy in the palace. Later, he is taken captive by the sinister Mystic Dragon Cult and brought to the island where they are based. Through glib talk and flattery, he wins the favour of Hong Antong, the cult leader, and his young wife, Su Quan, becoming one of the cult's five emissaries. </p><p>Wei Xiaobao makes a number of seemingly impossible achievements through sheer luck, cunning, and the use of unglamorous means such as cheating and deception. First, he assists the Kangxi Emperor in ousting the autocratic regent, <a href="/wiki/Oboi" title="Oboi">Oboi</a>, from power. Second, he discovers the whereabouts of the missing <a href="/wiki/Shunzhi_Emperor" title="Shunzhi Emperor">Shunzhi Emperor</a>, who has been presumed dead, saves him from danger and reunites him with his son, the Kangxi Emperor. Third, he eliminates the Mystic Dragon Cult by stirring up internal conflict, which leads to the cult's self-destruction. Fourth, he weakens <a href="/wiki/Wu_Sangui" title="Wu Sangui">Wu Sangui</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Revolt_of_the_Three_Feudatories" title="Revolt of the Three Feudatories">rebellion</a> by bribing the rebels' allies to withdraw, allowing Qing imperial forces to crush the rebels easily. Finally, he leads a campaign against the <a href="/wiki/Tsardom_of_Russia" title="Tsardom of Russia">Tsardom of Russia</a> and helps the Qing Empire reach <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Nerchinsk" title="Treaty of Nerchinsk">a border treaty</a> with the Russians. Earlier on, he had met the Russian regent, <a href="/wiki/Sophia_Alekseyevna" class="mw-redirect" title="Sophia Alekseyevna">Sophia Alekseyevna</a>, and helped her consolidate control over Russia during <a href="/wiki/Moscow_uprising_of_1682" title="Moscow uprising of 1682">an uprising</a>. In the process of accomplishing these tasks, he also recommended talents to serve the Qing government, one of whom is <a href="/wiki/Shi_Lang" title="Shi Lang">Shi Lang</a>, the admiral who led the successful <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Penghu" title="Battle of Penghu">naval campaign</a> against the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Tungning" title="Kingdom of Tungning">Kingdom of Tungning</a> in Taiwan. </p><p>Throughout the story, Wei Xiaobao exhibits devout loyalty to both the Kangxi Emperor and the anti-Qing Tiandihui. He saves the lives of the emperor and the empress dowager on several occasions. On the other hand, he helps the anti-Qing elements and undermines the Qing forces' attempts to destroy the Tiandihui. Navigating power plays, Wei Xiaobao accumulates immense wealth and high titles from various parties, including the Manchu court's "Duke of Deer Cauldron" (or "Duke of Mount Deer", which is used as an alternative English title for the novel). On top of his achievements, he also encounters seven attractive women on separate occasions, eventually marrying all of them. </p><p>Wei Xiaobao's conflicting loyalties ultimately reach a disastrous conclusion. The Kangxi Emperor discovers his affiliation with the Tiandihui, forcing him to choose to either remain loyal to the Qing Empire or become an enemy of the state. Wei Xiaobao faces a dilemma: If he chooses to follow the emperor's orders, he will have to betray his friends in the Tiandihui and help the emperor destroy them; if he refuses, he faces the possibility of death and the extermination of his family. Although he ultimately chooses to go into exile, the emperor still regards him as a close friend and loyal subject so he pardons him and allows him to return to the palace. </p><p>Towards the end of the novel, the Kangxi Emperor tries to force Wei Xiaobao to help him eliminate the Tiandihui again. On the other hand, Wei Xiaobao faces an even bigger problem with the Tiandihui. As Chen Jinnan had died recently, the Tiandihui's members look up to Wei Xiaobao and want him to be their new leader. </p><p>Wei Xiaobao ponders the issue, realises that he will never be able to reconcile between the two opposing sides, and feels that his divided friendships and split loyalties are tearing him apart. He decides to leave and lead a reclusive life, and brings along his family and immense wealth with him. He is never seen again. It is said that when the Kangxi Emperor went on six inspection tours to the <a href="/wiki/Jiangnan" title="Jiangnan">Jiangnan</a> region throughout his reign, his true purpose was to search for Wei Xiaobao. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Characters">Characters</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Deer_and_the_Cauldron&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Characters"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/List_of_The_Deer_and_the_Cauldron_characters" title="List of The Deer and the Cauldron characters">List of The Deer and the Cauldron characters</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Miscellaneous_information">Miscellaneous information</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Deer_and_the_Cauldron&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Miscellaneous information"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sutra_of_Forty-two_Chapters">Sutra of Forty-two Chapters</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Deer_and_the_Cauldron&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Sutra of Forty-two Chapters"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The founders of the <a href="/wiki/Manchu_people" title="Manchu people">Manchu</a>-led <a href="/wiki/Qing_dynasty" title="Qing dynasty">Qing dynasty</a> made eight copies of the <i><a href="/wiki/Sutra_of_Forty-two_Chapters" title="Sutra of Forty-two Chapters">Sutra of Forty-two Chapters</a></i>, a classical Buddhist text.

This is to ensure that none of the nobles will attempt to find this location; they will instead guard the secret with their lives.
