Dragon Palace - Underground Water Sounds Contain World-Famous Profound Knowledge

By Wang Aimin

one

In Anshun, when the buds sprout, it's called "Dragon Head Raising".

With a grand vision, when the dragon body moves,

it becomes the five dragons guarding the treasure, the dragons greeting guests.

It's like a series of underground rivers, it's the Shuimian Dragon Pool.

It's like the dragon palace whirlpool where the water flows around the mountain.

It's like the rainbow formed by the arching of the Dragon Gate Waterfall.

There is a winding path leading back home, and it's also a dragon.

The dragon rises up in clouds from Anshun.

The Dragon Palace will raise its hands to reach the sky for the sake of the earth.

In the ears of the great mountains in the Dragon Palace, it sticks out its ears to listen to the water sounds deep within.

In the midst of the light and shadow of the water sounds, it reaches the shore. The time tunnel is filled with puzzles.

As wise as worldly affairs, it stores knowledge. The invisibility technique is an unparalleled masterwork.

It lowers its half body towards the earth, and the paper gently falls with the green color.

Three

Carry stones to mend the sky, and call a mountain "promise"

One after another, rivers break free from their bones

A river stands up, and that is the backbone of water

A thousand stars, playing the game of the outside world

The sound of water is distant, like the hands of a thousand years knocking on the door, opening the sky beneath the water

In the heart, the Dragon Palace has carved out a paradise for you

Four

The sound of reading, the sound of forging, the sound of clapping, all break through the walls.

One by one, the bones in the body make a clanging sound.

A stone refuses to fall, laying a prelude for time.

The tiny water droplet, storing the secrets of thousands of years' palm prints.

Little by little, it slowly sets aside the time.

Those who have passed through the Dragon Palace must have a sudden enlightenment in their hearts.

Five

With the character "dragon", layers of granaries are drawn on the earth

Good omens stand on the seeds, tiptoeing

The entire sky floats above the earth, bowing its head and singing

The flowing hair swings at the top of the head, the ice in the bone crackles

The water is at my disposal, peach blossoms bloom on my face

The person I'm waiting for is the swallow across the river

The yellow oxes are everywhere, speaking human language

The flying dragon is in the water, the hearts of the people who have settled down are moistened

Six

Empty out the inner moon

Each stroke of the side brush is engraved on the bones of the Dragon Palace

To deal with hard things

Each cut glitters, and each cut is soft as well

Seven

Donghai Drum Music, a series of musical instruments

Drinking water and walking within my body

Every day ringing the morning and evening bells

Training for thousands of years deep in the clouds and fog, knowledge stored in the heart

Pushing open the door of the earth, the Taoist realm has a different kind of paradise

Eight

Being caressed by the loving gaze of Guanyin Cave

The chimes are melodious, purifying the mind and soul

The water has dried up, but the stones are still intact

A heart, for several hundred million years, still hasn't let go

Like my aged father and mother

They swallowed all the tears of their life

Their stomachs are like boats, filled with compassion

The darkness carries me across, while the light is on the shore

Nine

The beautiful mountains and clear waters of Anshun stretch out like they are in the palm of your hand.

The distant mountains echo the nearby mountains, and there are faint dragon roars between your fingers.

A newly opened dragon pearl spits out new and beautiful time.

The surging waves echo in the chests of the people of Anshun.

The fragrance spreads from the dragon's mouth.

How many winds and rains roll down from the back, raising the sky.

Let's go on a journey along with the rivers, starting from Anshun.

We sing all the way.
