On the first night of the first month of the first month of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong watched the big shadow lamp in the palace and the door of the temple in the courtyard. They all lit wax torches and connected with the palace. The cave was as bright as a picture. Fashionista Mao Shunshun is ingenious, with a structure of 20 lighthouses, which are 150 feet high and covered with pearls, jade, gold and silver. Every time the breeze comes, it becomes a rhyme. Or like dragons, dragons, tigers and leopards leaping with lights, like non-human. Ye Fashan, the Taoist priest, called him by the view of holiness and truth. Even if you arrive, you can dive downstairs, and people don't know. Fa Shan said, "The prosperity of shadow lights is not as good as that of chinese odyssey and Liangzhou." The master said, "Have you tasted it?" Fashan said, "I'll call you when I come to the right place." Instead, he said, "I want to go now. Can I go?" Fa Shan said, "This is easy to smell." So he closed his eyes and said, "You must not look for nothing. You must be horrified when you read it. " According to his words, I closed my eyes and jumped ⑦, and I was in the sky. After reaching the ground, Fashan said, "You can watch." On the one hand, there are dozens of miles of lights and candles, cars and horses, men and women. This is called goodness. After a long time, Fashan said, "Look at China and you can go back." Close my eyes, I followed the Dharma and went up. After a while, I went back to my old place, and the songs downstairs were still blowing. Fashan went to Xiliangzhou, and Tie was satisfied with the quality of the restaurant. Another day, he became an official and asked him to do something else to be Liangzhou, because he wanted to satisfy Tie. Fashan also tried to introduce the upper reaches of the Moon Palace. Because he listened to Yue Xian, he learned the melody and remembered his songs, and then he passed it on, so he became a colorful feather.

"Records of Six Dynasties in Jinling" says: "On August 17th, the seventh year of Emperor Wu's Chiwu (15), Ge Xuan attained enlightenment in Fangshan and ascended to heaven in the daytime." So far, there are drugs boiling and boring, and there are drug washing pools in the mountains. Now look. Bai Zhong, a disciple of Ge Xuan, also ascended to heaven during the day. So far, he has seen the altar at the foot of Baidu Mountain. Yao Guang, a disciple of Ge Xuan, claimed to be a fire fairy, and Emperor Wu burned it with his salary.
