Inscriptions

Poem:

玉真入道
丹竈砂牀近畫屏，欲隨南嶽鍊真形。雷符雲篆柔豪下，自寫靈飛六甲經。
墨琴女史
Yuzhen’s Conversion to Daoism
Her Doaist crucible and ingredients were being placed near the painted screen,
Pursuing her desire, she cultivates her true essence atop the Southern Marchmount.
The talisman for thunder and the beautiful scripts are being formed under a soft brus,
For it is her wish to copy by hand the Spiritual Flight Sutra.
