Selected Works of Zhaoming, Volume 21, Poem B, Wandering Immortals, Wandering Immortals

"Seven Poems of Wandering Immortals" No.3: "Jade plays the orchid, and the color is more brilliant. Green radish bears high forests and mountains are covered with cages. There are silent people in the middle, whistling quietly to clear the strings. Let feelings fly out of the sky, chew the core and let spring fly. Red pine is near the upper reaches, flooding with purple smoke. Left hand floating hill sleeve, right hand Hongya shoulder. Excuse me, Mayflies, would you rather know the Year of the Tortoise and the Year of the Crane? Tang quoted the key to health preservation as saying: "There are thousands of turtles and cranes that have longevity, and there are also all things that have longevity. Taoism believes that cranes bend their necks and rest, turtles hide and choke, so they live long. 」

"Bao Puzi" Volume III "Inside, Anti-vulgarity"

Or it is hard for people to say, "There are old Peng among people, and there are pines and cypresses between trees. How do we learn from nature? " Bao Puzi said, "My husband cultivates nature, and the morning is human. Therefore, those who are shallow can use everything, and those who are deep can stay for a long time and see it. Knowing the immortality of medicine, we should use it to seek immortality. Knowing the longevity of turtles and cranes is effective in increasing the year. In addition, the branches and leaves of pine and cypress are different from other trees. Turtles and cranes are different from other insects in appearance. As for Peng Lao, he is still a human ear, not an alien, but a long-lived elder. Because his enlightenment is unnatural. Many trees can't imitate pines and cypresses, and insects can't imitate turtles and cranes, so they cut their ears short. If a person is wise and can cultivate the way of Peng Lao, he can work with him. If there are no immortals in the world, but according to the records of the ancient philosophers, there are nearly a thousand people, all with surnames, and it is not an empty statement. If they are all extraordinary, legends are served by teachers, not born to know. If Taoism can't be learned, it will change its face, swallow a knife and spit fire, wait and die, stir up the fog in Yun Qi, summon insects and snakes, and gather fish? Thirty-six petrochemicals turn into water, and jade disappears? More than 900 kinds of things have been smashed into dregs, which have never been touched or hurt in the depths and turned into reality. Everything will be fine if you follow the rules. Why can you get it if you don't believe in immortals? Immortality is late and taboo. Since there is no ambition to surpass the world, you can't stay. It may be quite well-intentioned, but abandoning it halfway means that the immortal road is immortal and the fruit is not audible. According to the immortal scriptures, if you take Dan and leave one, you will be pregnant and prolong your life indefinitely. This is the most profound thing to say. A folk gentleman has a clear conscience inside and a clear shadow outside. They don't cheat the sky in the world, and they don't break their word in the next. What's more, the real people in ancient times would rather be a dead letter and mistake the future for something they must get. Without your life, you won't believe it, you can pretend to be forced! 」
