Abstract: Firstly, the term po tian hong in the first chapter of Jin Ping Mei Ci Hua (Commentary on Golden Lotus) is actually a misrepresentation of po tian guan. Tian guan refers to a crucial mechanism of the heaven, symbolizing the North Star, rather than a heavenly gate. The phrases po tian and bo tian guan, frequently appear in the drama literature of dynasties from Yuan and Ming, sharing semantic relevance but differing in their lexical motivation. The former often connotes wealth, while the latter typically denotes exceptional skill. Secondly, the term xin liang xing in the eleventh chapter is incorrectly rendered and should be xin xing, with liang being interpolation. The variant textual traditions is disregard which results from both treating xin liang as correct or misreading liang as another zi character. Thirdly, through a comparison of these variants and their contextual associations, it becomes evident that the description of WU Song’s appearance as chou sou in the first chapter actually conveys a sense of constraint and restraint, rather than bravery or heroism.
