6.160

When the Shaowei Star appears, the ancient manner returns;
Fame and radiance cover the earth without closing gates.
Rapid promotion through the Three Institutes is treated like passing a stranger on the road;
Lying reclined in lofty seclusion on Mount Jiuhua is Mount Penglai.
Walking into the rocky sedge, the auspicious qilin is steady;
Flying to the ocean trees, the white phoenix is at leisure.
I only fear that you will not be allowed to rest from serving your lord,
And that rush-wheeled carriages will come once again amid the vines and creepers.
