Volume 1 of the Continuation and Supplement to the Complete Collection of Tang Poems - Early Tang - Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu, composed poems for the Prince of Qin. Emperor Taizong composed poems for the Prince of Qin, and Emperor Gaozu composed poems saying... The Emperor built a residence west of the palace, newly completed, and Emperor Gaozu sent the imperial seal to the Emperor. Scholars and officials said to each other, "Poems and the imperial seal, surely auspicious signs for the state." According to the Preface to the Complete Collection of Tang Poems, Hu Zhenheng stated that there were no conjunctions of the five stars in the early Tang Dynasty, suspecting it to be a forgery. I have seen a rubbing of a stone inscription in Hu County, Shaanxi, dated to the third year of the Daye era, where Li Yuan, Prince of Qin, prayed for his son's illness. Sun Xingyan's Record of Inscriptions Visited also includes it. Divine virtue unites heaven and earth, the five stars align in a chain. Gentle breezes brush, joy fills the world. The Imperial Encyclopaedia Volume 21, Emperors - Responses to Omens, Li Shih-min, Emperor Taizong, inscribed on Turtle Peak Mountain in Ma County. Heaven and earth create with divine power, the magnificent place stands serene. Horse tracks imprint on the dark stone, the turtle's head into the white clouds. High mountains often have immortals pass, the temple named "Nengren" is enshrined by the Emperor. Wind brushes the edge of the sword-striking stone, water ripples in the Tiger Leaping Spring. The dragon's roar in the southern ridge, the tiger's growl in the eastern forest. In the stupa of relics, the Buddhist monk remains; on the cliff of Guanyin, the compassionate face is revered. The sky opens, clouds appear in jade-like green; the sun sets, clouds glow like ruby red. Lush bamboos grow by the cliffs, towering pine trees stand tall. In the Pavilion of Watching Turtles, welcome the immortals; before the Snow-Spraying Cliff, the flowing water runs. The people of ten thousand miles are nourished, the hall of sages and worthies are all empty. The traveling minister writes his name, the herbalist leaves traces. Even if the painting cannot depict it, it seems like a realm in the highest heavens. The Hongzhi Huangzhou Prefecture Gazetteer Volume 7, Literature, Empress Wu's poem on Stone Creek with preface. If the round and square isles, crossing the vast waves without end; the golden platform and jade palace, ascending Xuanpu without steps. Only the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Records of Immortals are heard. There is a Stone Creek, which is the Pingle Valley. It is close to the Songshan range, facing the Jifeng peak. Looking at Shaoshí, it is like lotus; gazing at Yingchuan, it is like a belt. Then, stepping on the rugged mountain path, shaded by dense vines, surging rapids, falling into the empty pool and echoing; high and green cliffs, lined by deep gullies and opening feasts. Dense leaves spread like curtains, screening away the miasma and cooling the heat; tall pines blow with the wind, clearing the summer heat with coolness. In the forest and grasslands, the heart and mind are at peace; facing the mist and clouds, the dust of life is cleansed. Dense and deep in the hills and valleys, it is the Peach Blossom Spring; vast and flowing in the flat stream, it floats like bamboo arrows. [Weave] (Net) the liana to form a curtain, the lotus stone stands like a tower. The cave mouth is fully open, flowing for a thousand years the fragrant essence; halfway up the mountain, it cracks open, spewing ten miles of fragrant rice. No need for the Kunlun tour, naturally shaped by the scenery. It should be that people write colorful calligraphy, each composing a jade poem, so that there is no stagnation in the secluded abode, and no solitude among the springs and rocks. Each writes four lines, all in seven-character verses. The Complete Collection of Ancient and Modern Books and Compendia Volume 60, Mountains and Rivers - Songshan.

Xu Jingzong, Ascending the Tower in the Snow of the Northeast At the end of the year, snow falls all day in the distant frontier city. Frozen clouds blend with the sea, withered trees add to the wind's sound.
