Roaming in a Dream to the Court of Taizhen夢遊大眞院
玄宗遺錄曰。帝謂力士曰。吾自棄去妃子。杳無夢寐。齊心膳素。宜有所禱。果有夢應。夢至一處。萬壑煙霞。千峯花木。滿目寒濤。驚人絶景。翠煙絳氣云云。白玉掛陴。黃金題字曰。東虛第一宮。又翠衣童子前導至一院。題曰太一大眞元上妃院。大眞妃隔雲母屛而坐。不見其形。但聞其聲。帝曰。願得一見天姿。何恨此屛。似非疇昔相愛之意。妃露半身。髣髴新粧。依俙舊色。帝一見踊躍。前執其手。則驚風起於足下。若墮天云。
The Xuanzong yilu says: The Emperor said to Lishi, "Ever since I gave up the Consort, even my dreams are far off. I should set my heart in order and take plain food, and I ought to have somewhere fit to pray." And indeed his dream answered him. In the dream he came to a place where mist and evening glow lay over ten thousand valleys and flowers and trees stood on a thousand peaks; there were waves that filled the eye and scenery of startling beauty, blue mist and red vapor. The steps were laid with white jade, and in letters written in gold it said "First Palace of the Eastern Void (東虛第一宮)." Then a boy in green robes led the way before him, and they came to a court (院) on which was written "Court of Taiyi Taizhen, Primal High Consort (太一大眞元上妃院)." Consort Taizhen sat with a screen of mica between them, so that her form could not be seen and only her voice was heard. The Emperor said, "I wish to see your heavenly form just once; why do you let this screen stand in the way? It seems not to be the mind of the love we bore each other of old." Then the Consort showed half of herself. Dimly, as though newly adorned, her old brightness was faint upon her. The Emperor looked once and leapt for joy, and went forward and took her hand; and at his feet a startling wind rose, and it was as though he were falling out of the sky.
縹緲煙霞紫翠重。仙童導入大眞宮。依俙一見嚴粧面。淸夢驚來若墮空。
Far-off mist and evening glow lay folded, red and blue, and an immortal boy led him into the Palace of Taizhen. Dimly he saw once a face beautifully adorned, and he started awake from the clear dream as though falling out of the void.
