== Headman ==
The previous headman left vacant the position when he was killed by a stampede of oxen, and his succesor would be the last who stands in a brawl among all the candidates. Danyu refused to fight, remaining standing after all the blows directed at him. When only Danyu and another villager left standing, his opponent realized that a physically strong leader was not nearly as important as a morally strong leader. He bowed to Danyu who had been the headman ever since.
