The mighty Yin and Yang, the sun rises in the east; follow the virtue of fire, restore the light of heaven. The picturesque land, Luoyang, the divine capital; Chang'an first built, the grand halls of Daming Palace. The reign of Wansui Tongtian, where is Shenlong now? The lofty plains are no mere fantasy; beneath Hanyuan Hall, all nations face the sun. The glory of the world all returns to the Tang. A white horse flashes past, all things change without end. We lament the An Lushan Rebellion, which ravaged our homeland; an unrivaled empire rose to its peak, then fell into decline. For this one desire, I would remake the primordial world; may our central land never fall beneath the sun.
A thousand years ago, fantasy set sail. Where did it land? Yingzhou and Fusang. Though birds could not repay the debt, Nara flourished. The teachings of Prince Shotoku spread far and wide; a great fire in Kyoto, and a blue lotus blossomed. If love is the cause, even heaven cannot stand in its way. Fujiwara-kyo fell, while Heian shone in splendor. This land is the home of the gods; Kaguya of the Bamboo Cutter shines across all directions. Prince Kuramochi turned his heart to the celestial light; the Imperial Regalia, a dream that came to nothing. Above the moon's surface, eternity endures forever; gain and loss are fated, across the waters.
The great eastward crossing, waters vast and mountains long; like the journey west, it bore the light of the Buddha. Great Jianzhen, the backbone of the Tenpyo era; a plan for a century, a vision for a millennium. The tranquil sea of the moon, peace hard to come by; cherry blossoms bloom atop Mount Yoshino. The land of fantasy appears in the East.
There is the shangyang bird in the world, carrying on the legacy of Cheng Tang; the dark bird of destiny descended and gave birth to Shang. In heaven is the Milky Way, watching over us with its light; the waters of the underworld surge, and Heaven's mandate is vast and unknowable. If we do not rejoice today, the dead will be gone forever.
P.S. Your Ning Chu is back.
