The moon declines
Into the western sea
To be reborn anew
The sun’s journey
Has almost begun
Soon to be ascendant
Bright radiance
Fills the East
The sky bursting
Yet cloudy is the soul
At the moment of dawn
So the Ultimate gives birth
To Heaven and Earth
The three realms
Each in its turn
Waxing and waning
Until arriving
At the essence
Of full understanding
Three realms five times
A new moon begins to rise
Who is capable
Of taking such a journey
感遇 其一
微月生西海
幽阳始化升
圆光正东满
阴魄已朝凝
太极生天地
三元更废兴
至精谅斯在
三五谁能征
