In the tenth year of Pinghong, autumn, the twenty-first day of the dead month
The frost leaves are dyed with bright red, the head of the Ganges River is rustling in the autumn wind, and the soul flags are fluttering... The red river water carries a bamboo raft and floats away.
Who will be stained by the frost leaves at dawn, leaving people with tears in their hearts. I hate the green mountains of those days, and don't want to return to the people I left behind.
In the tenth year of Pinghong, in autumn, on the twenty-fourth day of the dead month, Emperor Yuan, the founder of the Qi Kingdom, died in Tai'an Palace at the age of forty and five. "History of the Country" records:... Emperor Yuan's wife He died of illness for three days. At night, with green hair and white snow, he looked as if he was old and decayed at dusk. The canthus of the eye is completely cracked, with blood and tears filling the eyes but not falling. The color is like cinnabar, and the look is desolate. Everyone who sees it cannot help but shed tears in their hearts.
Later, the unofficial history "Daqi Figures" recorded: ... A hundred years later, Zhangyan, Zhiguo, Legs, Xiaku and others stole the tomb of Emperor Yuan. The tomb is as bright as day, with simple furnishings and as clean as a folk house. The coffin was in full shape, but no remains were seen, only the dragon and phoenix robes were folded side by side, entangled like a couple.
"Folk Chronicles and Strange Biography" says: "Since the Pinghong period, mandalas have been released overnight at the head of the Hengjiang River. Their color is like blood, and the gurgling water is like springs coming out of the ground. They remain unbeaten every year. There are constant storms at the head of the Hengjiang River every day, and visitors are not allowed to get even half a step closer. When woodcutters pass by at night, they only hear the sound of the wind whimpering, which is sad and mournful. Everyone sheds tears when they hear it."
