1. 湘靈鼓瑟

Title: 湘靈鼓瑟

Poet: 莊若訥

Corpus: Tang poetry

File: poet.tang.10000.json

帝子鳴金瑟，餘聲自抑揚。
悲風絲上斷，流水曲中長。
出沒遊魚聽，逶迤彩鳳翔。
微音時扣徵，雅韻乍含商。
神理誠難測，幽情詎可量。
至今聞古調，應恨滯三湘。

2. 大還丹口訣

Title: 大還丹口訣

Poet: 若訥

Corpus: Tang poetry

File: poet.tang.56000.json

黃芽砂汞造，陰殻含陽花。
不得黃芽理，還丹應路賒。
世人煉至藥，盡認鉛黃花。
黃花是死物，那得到仙家。
黃芽非外藥，內象取精華。
若到黃芽地，金銀徒爾誇。

3. 歌

Title: 歌

Poet: 若訥

芽若是鉛，去鉛萬里。
芽若非鉛，從鉛而始。
鉛爲芽母，芽爲鉛子。
既得金花，捨鉛不使。
（見《正統道藏》本後蜀人著《大還丹照鑑》。
）。
