夜深诗酒兴偏长，茶色清新到口凉。烛暗花开因结子，郁金玉碗更生香。
美酒偏能惹兴长，文人更喜品茶香。两般却是人间宝，为我仙家不冒尝。
柳大仙
吾非柳树得仙，吾唐朝秀士柳楚台，乃湖北汉阳县董家村人，因贫困投井，遇
吕师救之，以魂附柳得生。因法名守真。今受
文昌帝君司文郎。
到坛
天地原来共一家，不知望去即生涯。而今已上蓬莱路，流水桃花泛木槎。
佛是空门却不空，仙家有象是飞龙。有法终归无法寂，年年佳兴与人同。
凡人心寂即仙真，何必劳劳苦一身。大地乾坤都是梦，回头即岸鹤同春。

佐理天星日月长，身居洞府白云乡。生前心迹谁能晓，遗恨千秋暗自伤。
题鹤举寿
仁者如山寿更长，壶中日月静收藏。蟠桃筵上鹤飞绕，五气朝元姓氏香。
莲池大士
吾姓王，生时好善，以放生为事，再生姓沈，不昧前修乃成善果。蒙

看花仙人
吾乃千年鹿童

铁鹤仙人
吾乃千年玄鹤，早脱凡身。在董仙座下已五百年矣。今受为符使也。
到坛
千年本是一鹤身，脱去皮囊养性真。吸露餐花修炼久，瑶池会上不思春。
化作人身百岁春，而今已是散仙真。九天洞府凭吾到，飞去飞来不惹尘。
青鸾仙人
吾羽仙乃须陀山修养数百年，于唐朝乃得人身。受文昌帝君收作童子。
到坛
文鸾修得上瑶台，南斗星君部下排。千载宫中为使者，大仙洞中任徘徊。
羽化登仙实可怜，修真养性有千年。文昌座下为文使，不赴蟠桃也是仙。
七仙姑
吾等七姊妹，住西湖，借山水精华脱去毛羽。春秋时到蓬莱修炼，保养天和，汉时遇
钟离大仙修炼，吾等在山为伴，八洞大仙齐至，日日听讲玄机，故得修炼秘诀。于宋时
王母度为侍外家也。又蒙
王母赐蟠桃仙酒，而今不复人间闲戏也。
七姑到坛各一首
紫姑
天上人间共一家，七姑流水泛胡麻。前缘已结山中相，不久蟠桃鹤舞斜。
绛姑
前生本是一仙家，后世如何不泛槎。天上有名难富贵，将来各驾五云车。
青姑
凡尘到处有仙家，自在逍遥度岁华。尔等不知天上乐，瑶池蓬岛万年花。
云姑
鹤飞到处尽奇花，洞府深藏云气遮。若等数年归八洞，灵芝瑞草满天涯。
月姑
好酒天仙亦有奢，人心好善鬼神夸。云中白鹤添多少，付与瑶池定等差。
渺姑
付与瑶池定等差，仙缘深浅道高夸。玄玄若得其中意，三教原来共一家。
碧姑
三教原来共一家，西方各自有天涯。色即是空空是色，依然顶上现天花。
西路财神

东岳天齐早敕挂名于簿籍，今受封
玉帝为西路财神，不过人间五品之职也。
到坛
天下财源滚滚前，不知飞去又飞还。人生早露新如草，何必贪心只爱钱。
西路财源我尽知，人间福禄有先期，阳消阴长添除算，使去还来各待时。

夜深人静，诗酒之兴反而更加浓厚，茶水清新，入口即凉。烛光昏暗，花开结果，郁金与玉碗更增添香气。
美酒最能引发兴致，文人雅士更喜欢品味茶香。这两样东西虽是人间珍宝，但对于我们仙人来说，却是不轻易沾染的。
柳大仙：
我并非柳树成精得道，我是唐朝秀才柳楚台，湖北汉阳县董家村人。因家境贫困投井自尽，遇到吕祖师（吕洞宾）救起，以魂魄附于柳树而得以重生。因此法名守真。如今受文昌帝君任命为司文郎。
降临神坛：
天地原本是一家，不知远望即是生活生涯。如今已走上蓬莱仙境之路，流水桃花泛舟木筏。
佛家虽是空门却不为空，仙家有形象如飞龙。有法最终归于无法的寂静，年年佳兴与人相同。
凡人心境寂灭即是仙真，何必劳苦奔波一身。大地乾坤都是梦境，回头是岸如鹤同春。
红鸾大仙：
姓白名持桂，鹤翔之女。在世时住在山西潞安府寻梅岭，城东七十里有村名叫寻梅村。因家贫，看见王母娘娘巡查地府，因怜悯之情，将我度化送至红鸾星处。我生于唐代，死于唐代，在宋仁宗时期得道。
降临神坛：
洞府依傍白云眺望，千秋遗恨积聚在我身上。《蓼莪》篇虽废终有余痛，粉黛无颜倍增惨淡神情。未能在膝前成为半子（女婿），和答降临神坛的诗。
鹤举 和诗：
反哺之心难以实现，深深的怨恨长久存在，何曾违背过父母的欢颜，逃避远离高堂。虽然红颜命殒，岂能沉潜德行光芒？贤淑女子能够和前面的两首诗。
鹤亭 和前诗二首：
寻梅村内孝名远扬，死后精魂在地府飘香。感动瑶池金母度化，如今在天宫协助星辰忙碌。
辅助治理天星日月长久，身居洞府白云之乡。生前心迹谁能知晓，遗恨千秋暗自悲伤。
题赠鹤举寿辰：
仁者如山寿命更长，壶中日月静静收藏。蟠桃筵上鹤飞环绕，五气朝元姓氏留香。
莲池大士：
我姓王，生时喜好行善，以放生为事，转世后姓沈，不昧前世修行乃成善果。蒙如来佛祖度化为罗汉，我以济人为心，如今见众生等好善，所以降乩而已。
降临神坛：
前世最喜欢放生因缘，后世才能得上天。佛祖度化为真罗汉，不然还只是一介生员。
看花仙人：
我是千年鹿童，在玄帝座下修行已三百年了，元朝脱去凡身，一年四季与玄帝修花，故名看花童子。
降临神坛：
清风明月景色长新，拔宅升仙仙道真实。等到功成登上紫府，大千世界早已皆春。
白鹤仙人：
我是白鹤童子，乃千年老鹤也。修成人身脱去凡身在元朝。在寿星座下。
降临神坛：
大地乾坤任意游历，飞来飞去几次停留。千年养得胎元充足，弃了皮囊不惹愁绪。
铁鹤仙人：
我是千年玄鹤，早脱凡身。在董仙座下已五百年矣。如今受封为符使。
降临神坛：
千年本是一鹤身，脱去皮囊修养本性真。吸露餐花修炼已久，瑶池会上不思春。
化作人身百岁青春，如今已是散仙真。九天洞府凭我到达，飞去飞来不惹尘埃。
青鸾仙人：
我羽仙乃须陀山修养数百年，于唐朝乃得人身。受文昌帝君收作童子。
降临神坛：
文鸾修得上瑶台，南斗星君部下排班。千载宫中为使者，大仙洞中任徘徊。
羽化登仙实在可怜，修真养性已有千年。文昌座下为文使，不赴蟠桃也是仙。
七仙姑：
我们七姊妹，住西湖，借山水精华脱去毛羽。春秋时到蓬莱修炼，保养天和，汉时遇钟离大仙修炼，我们在山中为伴，八洞大仙齐至，日日听讲玄机，故得修炼秘诀。于宋代被王母度为侍外家（侍女）。又蒙王母赐蟠桃仙酒，而今不再有人间闲戏。
七姑降临神坛各一首：
紫姑：
天上人间共一家，七姑流水泛胡麻。前缘已结山中相，不久蟠桃鹤舞斜。
绛姑：
前世本是一仙家，后世如何不泛槎。天上有名难富贵，将来各驾五云车。
青姑：
凡尘到处有仙家，自在逍遥度岁华。尔等不知天上乐，瑶池蓬岛万年花。
云姑：
鹤飞到处尽奇花，洞府深藏云气遮。若等数年归八洞，灵芝瑞草满天涯。
月姑：
好酒天仙亦有奢，人心好善鬼神夸。云中白鹤添多少，付与瑶池定等差。
渺姑：
付与瑶池定等差，仙缘深浅道高夸。玄玄若得其中意，三教原来共一家。
碧姑：
三教原来共一家，西方各自有天涯。色即是空空是色，依然顶上现天花。
西路财神：
姓杜名宝，系唐天宝十三年正月二十日生，于唐留名，宋仁宗时方得成道，受封于东岳天齐早敕挂名于簿籍，今受封玉帝为西路财神，不过人间五品之职也。
降临神坛：
天下财源滚滚向前，不知飞去又飞还。人生早露新如草，何必贪心只爱钱。
西路财源我尽知，人间福禄有先期，阳消阴长添除算，使去还来各待时。
山西省土地：
姓雷名青霄号喜楚，乃楚人也。生襄阳府，生前为江南苏州太守，林下寻乐，死后魂游湖南。
降临神坛：
生前本是一寒儒，五马黄堂恩遇殊。作吏一行勤政绩，而今遗爱在江苏。
云梦潇湘寄我魂，无端恩诏出天门。晋阳守土滋多福，庇佑生民报至尊。
阳曲县县土地：
姓魏名吾阳，系太原县北关人。离城三里，生前曾做五台教官，为官清正，死后受东岳天齐封于此地为县土地也。
降临神坛：
经纶聊展济时才，师范俨然在五台。道溯程朱述既往，薪传游夏诱将来。未膺民社苍生望，

Late at night, the inclination for poetry and wine grows stronger; the tea is fresh and cool upon entering the mouth. The candlelight is dim, flowers bloom to bear fruit, and the golden flower (Jinyu) and jade bowl generate additional fragrance.
Fine wine can particularly arouse interest, and literati prefer to savor the aroma of tea. These two things are treasures of the human world, yet they are not easily tasted by us immortals.
Great Immortal Liu:
I am not a spirit of a willow tree who attained immortality; I was Liu Chutai, a scholar of the Tang Dynasty, from Dongjia Village, Hanyang County, Hubei Province. Due to poverty, I threw myself into a well, but was saved by Master Lü (Lü Dongbin). My soul attached to a willow tree, allowing me to live again. Thus, my Dharma name is Shouzhen. Now, I serve as the Director of Literature under the Wenchang Emperor.
Descending to the Altar:
Heaven and Earth originally belong to one family; not knowing that looking afar constitutes one's life journey. Now having ascended the path to Penglai, flowing water and peach blossoms float on a wooden raft.
Buddhism is an empty gate yet not truly empty; the immortal realm has forms like a flying dragon. Methods ultimately return to the silence of non-methods; annual joy is shared with humans.
When the mortal mind is silent, it becomes an immortal sage; why laboriously toil one's body? The great earth and universe are all dreams; turning back leads to the shore, springing forth like cranes.
Great Immortal Hongluan:
My surname is Bai, given name Chigui, daughter of Hexiang. While alive, I resided at Xunmei Ridge, Lu'an Prefecture, Shanxi Province, where a village named Xunmei Village lies seventy li east of the city. Due to poverty, witnessing Queen Mother (Wangmu) inspecting the underworld, out of compassion, she guided me to the Hongluan Star. I was born in the Tang Dynasty, died in the Tang Dynasty, and attained the Dao during the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song.
Descending to the Altar:
The cave dwelling leans against white clouds for viewing; a millennium of lingering regrets accumulates within me. Though the ode "Liao E" is abandoned, pain remains; without makeup, the spirit feels doubly desolate. Unfulfilled duty to parents as a son-in-law, harmonizing with poems descending to the altar.
He Ju - Harmonizing Poem:
The heart to feed back is hard to fulfill; deep hatred lasts long. When did I ever disobey parental joy, escaping far from the high hall? Although my red face perished, how could virtue sink? A virtuous lady harmonizes with the previous two poems.
He Ting - Harmonizing Previous Two Poems:
Filial fame spreads in Xunmei Village; after death, the refined soul fragrances in the underworld. Moved by Queen Mother of the Jade Pool to be guided, now assisting stars busily in heaven.
Assisting celestial stars for sun and moon long; residing in the cave dwelling of white clouds. Who knows the traces of the heart before life? Regrets of a millennium hurt secretly.
Inscribing Longevity for He Ju:
The benevolent are like mountains, living longer; days and months in the pot are quietly stored. Cranes fly around the Peach Banquet; the five Qi pay homage, the surname smells sweet.
Lady of the Lotus Pond:
My surname is Wang. In life, I loved kindness, engaging in releasing lives. Reborn as Shen, not forgetting past cultivation, I achieved good results. Honored by Tathagata to become an Arhat. With saving people as my heart, seeing that you all love kindness, I descend via spirit writing.
Descending to the Altar:
In the previous life, I most liked the karma of releasing lives; only then could I ascend to heaven in the next life. The Buddha guided me to become a true Arhat; otherwise, I would still be a student.
Flower-Watching Immortal:
I am a thousand-year-old deer boy, having cultivated under the Xuan Di for three hundred years. In the Yuan Dynasty, I shed my mortal body, cultivating flowers with Xuan Di throughout the four seasons, hence named Flower-Watching Boy.
Descending to the Altar:
Clear wind and bright moon scenery remain fresh; pulling up the house to ascend, the immortal path is true. Waiting for merit to complete and ascend to the Purple Mansion, the vast world is already spring.
White Crane Immortal:
I am the White Crane Boy, a thousand-year-old crane. Cultivating into a human form and shedding mortality in the Yuan Dynasty. Under the Shou Xing constellation.
Descending to the Altar:
Roaming freely in the great earth and universe, flying here and there, stopping occasionally. A thousand years nourish the fetal origin sufficiently; discarding the skin bag brings no sorrow.
Iron Crane Immortal:
I am a thousand-year-old black crane, having long shed my mortal body. Under Immortal Dong for five hundred years. Now appointed as a Talisman Messenger.
Descending to the Altar:
A thousand years were originally one crane body; shedding the skin bag cultivates true nature. Drawing dew and dining on flowers, cultivating for a long time; at the Jade Pool gathering, thinking not of spring.
Transformed into a human body for a hundred springs; now already a scattered immortal truth. Nine-heaven cave dwellings are reached by me; flying back and forth, attracting no dust.
Green Luan Immortal:
I, Yu Xian, cultivated at Xutuo Mountain for hundreds of years, attaining a human body in the Tang Dynasty. Taken as a boy by Wenchang Emperor.
Descending to the Altar:
Wenluan cultivated to reach the Jade Terrace, arranged under the Southern Dipper Lord. For a thousand years as a messenger in the palace, wandering freely in the Great Immortal's cave.
Attaining immortality through transformation is truly pitiable; cultivating truth and nature for a thousand years. As a literary messenger under Wenchang, even without attending the Peach Banquet, one is an immortal.
Seven Fairy Sisters:
We seven sisters reside at West Lake, borrowing the essence of mountains and waters to shed feathers. During the Spring and Autumn period, we went to Penglai to cultivate, preserving heavenly harmony. In the Han Dynasty, we met Great Immortal Zhongli for cultivation. We accompanied each other in the mountains; when the Eight Cave Great Immortals arrived, listening daily to profound mysteries, we obtained cultivation secrets. In the Song Dynasty, Queen Mother guided us to serve as attendants. Also bestowed with Peach Wine by Queen Mother, we no longer engage in worldly idle play.
Each of the Seven Fairies Descending to the Altar with One Poem:
Zigu:
Heaven and human world share one family; Seven Fairies flow water floating sesame. Past karma formed mountain appearances; soon peaches will dance with cranes slanting.
Jianggu:
Previous life was originally an immortal family; how can the future not float rafts? Having names in heaven makes wealth difficult; later each will drive five-cloud carriages.
Qinggu:
Immortal families exist everywhere in the mortal dust, free and unfettered passing years. You do not know heavenly joy; Jade Pool and Penglai islands have ten-thousand-year flowers.
Yungu:
Where cranes fly, rare flowers abound; cave dwellings deeply hidden by cloud mist. If waiting several years to return to the Eight Caves, lingzhi and auspicious grass fill the horizon.
Yuegu:
Good wine immortals also have luxury; human hearts loving goodness are praised by ghosts and gods. How many white cranes add to the clouds? Entrusted to the Jade Pool to determine ranks.
Miaogu:
Entrusted to the Jade Pool to determine ranks; depth of immortal affinity praises high Dao. Profoundly obtaining its meaning, the Three Teachings originally share one family.
Bigu:
The Three Teachings originally share one family; the West has its own horizons. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form; still, heavenly flowers appear on the crown.
God of Wealth of the Western Route:
Surname Du, given name Bao, born on January 20th of the 13th year of Tianbao era in Tang Dynasty. Famous in Tang, attaining Dao only during Emperor Renzong of Song. Enfeoffed by Dongyue Tianqi, listed in registers early on. Now enfeoffed by Jade Emperor as God of Wealth of the Western Route, merely a fifth-rank position in the human world.
Descending to the Altar:
Worldly wealth rolls forward; not knowing it flies away and returns. Human life's morning dew is new as grass; why be greedy and love only money?
I know all sources of wealth for the Western Route; human fortune and blessings have prior dates. Yang declines, Yin grows, adding or subtracting calculations; sending and returning waits for its time.
Land God of Shanxi Province:
Surname Lei, given name Qingxiao, courtesy name Xichu, a Chu person. Born in Xiangyang Prefecture. Before death, served as Governor of Suzhou, Jiangnan, seeking joy in forests. After death, soul wanders Hunan.
Descending to the Altar:
Before life was originally a poor scholar; honored greatly in officialdom. Serving as an official, diligent in administration; now legacy of love remains in Jiangsu.
Cloud Dream and Xiaoxiang entrust my soul; unexpectedly imperial edicts come from Heaven Gate. Guarding territory in Jinyang brings much blessing; protecting people to repay the Supreme One.
County Land God of Yangqu County:
Surname Wei, given name Wuyang, from North Gate of Taiyuan County. Three li from the city. Before death, served as instructor at Wutai. Upright in office; after death, enfeoffed by Dongyue Tianqi as County Land God here.
Descending to the Altar:
Briefly displaying talent to aid the world; teacher solemnly at Wutai. Dao traces Cheng and Zhu recounting the past; passing torch to You and Xia enticing the future. Not meeting the people's hope,

Respectfully Praising Eight Immortals Poem Zhang Hexiang:
Head tied double buns equal with temples, Heaven teaches scattered Han happy child. Zhongnan meeting Donghua after, Pity you clever each lost.
Spring and Autumn early spreading name, Why wait Tang Palace illusion magic mad? Occasionally controlling clumsy donkey leaving winning trace, Five Stars talking place laughing people busy.
Refining golden elixir just timely, Suitable receiving invitation going to Jade Pool. Returning not seeing former hut, Borrowing body becoming immortal immortal also strange.
Sword aura光芒 merging Dipper and Ox, Knocking Yao song finished shaking head again. Worldly people indeed following mercy teaching, Doing good one aspect happy matter leisurely.
Laughing seeing wealth like floating clouds, That is glory that is relative. Since Yunyang breaking through, Leisurely ten thousand ages happy long spring.
Gathering immortal medicine aiding heavenly harmony, Shedding dusty world happy matters many. Viewing all mountain green and water beautiful, Clear wind bright moon do not waste.
Knowing taste early then leaving home, Mundane bone how can float sea raft? Wanting to save world people hard to fully save, One sound jade flute falling heavenly flowers.
Diligently sweeping heavenly flowers is exactly cultivation, Lotus growing pure land what more seek? Since Jade Island frequently visiting, Cave dwelling leisurely free roaming.
Respectfully Praising Eight Immortals Poem Shen Dushi:
Penglai Immortal Island sun slow, Crane hair child face two buns hanging. True secret since East Emperor obtained, Drunk time sea playing dragons.

Refining true spirit exiting world dust, Beauty although shell what . Elixir completed smiling pointing white clouds go, Inside cave universe all is spring.
Technique completing ninety-nine Dao returns to one, Refining long-life不老 shape. Yellow Crane Tower top cloud shadow scatter, Xiao River bank several peaks green.
Disdaining human world wealth body, Palace robe removed Dao robe new. Moon bright ocean group immortal meeting, Drunk to deep not tired frequent.
West Lake lake side nurturing heavenly harmony, Nurturing heavenly harmony happy matters many. Basket full long-life newly gathered medicine, Drunk watching bright moon laughing hehe.
Declaration not continuing Dou Mountain high, Cloud dream secretly cultivating immortal bone hero. Xiangzi Qiao head merit far, Cantonese people compete praising old spring paste.
Holding broom dawn sweeping fallen flowers, Cloud clothes five colors shining strange flowers. Handan dream waking same returning Dao, Jade Island spring mild years distant.
