As the wise Sailimai answers the riddles, she teaches the emperor to understand his own misdoings. What is âmore black than the bottom of a pan?â the emperor wants to know. In her answer, Sailimai refers to the Emperorâs own heart so filled with avarice that he is willing to kill a man over a vase. The emperor continues, âWhat is clearer than a mirror?â âKnowledge in oneâs mind.â Such is Sailimaiâs knowledge as she responds to the riddles so clearly. What is âharder than steel?â Sailimai talks about people who unify against injustice, just as she is doing by standing up for her father-in-law. What is as âlarge as the sea?â âA virtuous womanâs heartâ Sailimai has such a heart. Her virtue defeats the emperorâs cruelty.
