40.59

In the fourth month, the Emperor dreamed that Lord Lao, the Xuanyuan Emperor, told him: 'I have an image southwest of the capital.' Thereupon he sent an envoy to Louguan in Zhouwu County, where purple clouds hovered and white light touched the heavens. A jade image three feet high was obtained and welcomed to Xingqing Palace. He ordered the officials to paint the true countenance of Xuanyuan to be placed separately in the Kaiyuan Temples of each commandery.
