列仙传·陵陽子明

📖 Biographies of Immortals#67 of 70🌐 English & Chinese

Original Chinese 原文

陵陽子明者,鄉人也,好釣魚於旋溪。釣得白龍,子明懼,解鉤拜而放之。後得白魚,腹中有書,教子明服食之法。子明遂上黃山,採五石脂,永水而服之。三年,龍來迎去,止陵陽山上百餘年。山去地千餘丈,大呼下人,令上山半,告言:「中子安,當來問子明釣車在否。」後二十餘年,子安死,人取葬石山下。有黃鶴來,棲其塚邊樹上,鳴呼子安云。

Lingyang Ziming was a native of this village and enjoyed fishing at Xuanxi. He caught a white dragon — one of the sacred creatures of the Taoist celestial order — and Ziming became frightened; he unfastened the hook, bowed to it, and released it. Later, he caught a white fish, which had a scroll in its belly that taught Ziming the method of taking elixirs for longevity. Ziming then went up to Huangshan Mountain, gathered five kinds of mineral powders for Taoist alchemical practice, boiled water, and took them as instructed. After three years, a dragon came to welcome him away, and he remained on Lingyang Mountain for more than one hundred years as a Taoist immortal. The mountain was over a thousand zhang away from the ground. He shouted to those below, ordering them to ascend halfway up the mountain and told them: "Zhong Zan will come to ask whether Zi Ming's fishing cart is still there." More than twenty years later, Zan died and was buried at the foot of Shishan. A yellow crane came, perched on a tree beside his tomb, and cried out the name Zan as it called.

陵陽子明

Original Chinese 原文

陵陽垂釣,白龍銜鉤。終獲瑞魚,靈述是修。五石溉水,騰山乘虱。子安果沒,鳴鶴何求。

Lingyang fished with a dangling line, when a white dragon took the hook in its mouth. In the end he obtained an auspicious fish; through this, he cultivated spiritual practices and attained transcendence. He boiled water with five minerals; thus, he ascended the mountain riding a coiled dragon. Zi An indeed died — what was it that the crying crane sought?
