Heaven and earth are dark and yellow; the cosmos vast and wild.
The sun and moon wax and wane; the stars are arrayed across the sky.
Cold comes, heat goes; autumn brings harvest, winter stores it away.
Leap days complete the years; pitch pipes harmonize the seasons.
…
With stars in my grasp, I turn the heavens and earth.
I reign supreme in this world. Who can challenge me?
The winds and clouds shift, yet I stand firm as a mountain.
The strong are buried; the weak all perish.
I alone command heaven and earth.
My name is Bai Shen.
