Skeleton complimented himself There was a temple located in Shangfang Mountain,Suzhou City.A man named Wang,who was from Yangzhou,used to stay in the temple.He always heard a voice come from under the hallway,and thus asked others come by to check it,so did they hear it too.As they suspected maybe some ghost had unredressed injustice to reveal,they called bhikkhus to carry over plows and hoes to dig into the earth,until it was about 2 meters deep down,a rotten coffin appeared out.Inside the coffin there was nothing but a skeleton.Then they buried it back. In no longer than 7 minutes,that voice began to sound in the air again,somehow it seemed like just came from inside that coffin.All the people gathered over and listened carefully,yet they could not make out any word.When they were all in surprise and doubt,one said,"In west wing-room lived Master Deyin,he's a virtuous bhikkhu and understand ghost language.How about asking him to come by?"Wang and others led Master Deyin come.Master bent over and got on his belly,listening for a good while,and spit,"Let it be.This guy was a big man in his previous life,who liked others' compliments.After death,since there was no more compliment,he began to complimented himself every now and then."A laughter burst out among the crowds,soon the crowds dispersed and the voice went down.

The grammar and spelling are good. Punctuation is mostly correct *except* for the lack of spaces. I know you don't have to worry about this in Chinese because the correct spacing is automatically included when you type the punctuation mark. It may seem a minor point, but to readers of alphabet-based languages, this makes the writing extremely difficult to read. And it would take ages to correct each of the 35 errors.

 

- Commas, like in this sentence, always get a space after.

- Periods are like commas. There is a space after each one. Always.

- Quote marks "around this phrase" get a space before the first one and after the last one.
