From the Chancellery: In the past, the Red Hill opened sageliness and the Flowery Islet sent down auspicious omens; their virtue harmonised with the spirit realm to grandly build a magnificent heritage. We have mightily inherited the great treasure and completely occupied the realm, relying from afar on the blessings of the suburban sacrifices and looking up to the felicity of the pivotal lightning. While the rites for the Garden of Remembrance have been broadly performed, the feelings of gazing into the mirror are keen yet in vain. Ever mindful of maternal instructions, We have no way to repay them. Quietly pondering cause and effect, We wish to rely on unseen blessings. The Palace of Tongyi was a former residence of the imperial house; its layout is grand and spacious. To exalt the shrine of benevolence and reverently increase spiritual protection, it is fitting to donate it as a nunnery, retaining the name Xingsheng. May the divine Way, boundless in its scope, faintly convey Our filial longing for the south wind. Let the relevant authorities carry this out.
