　　It was in the south-west corner of mitre square that the horribly mutilated body of Catherine Eddowes was found, the fourth victim of "jack the ripper". The body was discovered at 1.45am on the 30th september 1888.local tradition maintains that on the anniversary of the killing, people have occasionally glimpsed catherine's ghostly figure lying upon the spot where her life came to such a tragic and gruesome end.

After the instrument was made. Ping Gong of Jin asked Shi Kuang, an official in charge of music, to tune the instrument. Shi Kuang spent a whole day doing it, but failed to tune out a melody.

The large string and the small strings have their own functions. Only by coordinating with one another can they compose temperament, and only by being orderly can they playharmonious and pleasant music. Now there is no difference in size between the large string and the small strings. This ruins the system and regularity which they should have. How can I tune an instrument like this?"

　　晉平公責怪師曠不會調琴。師曠解釋說: “一張琴，大弦就好比國君，小弦就好比臣子。大弦小弦各有各的功能，它們彼此配合，才能合成音律。大弦小弦有條不紊，才能奏出和諧悅耳的音樂。您現在把琴絃做成大小不分，破壞了它們應有的系統性與規律性。這樣的琴，您讓我怎麼調呀?”
