寶閣瓊筵
The jade-pool banquet hall
大聖駕著雲，念聲咒語，搖身一變，就變做赤腳大仙模樣，前奔瑤池。不多時，直至寶閣，按住雲頭，輕輕移步，走入裡面。只見那裡：瓊香繚繞，瑞靄繽紛。瑤臺鋪彩結，寶閣散氤氳。鳳翥鸞翔形縹緲，金花玉萼影浮沉。上排著九鳳丹霞扆，八寶紫霓墩，五彩描金桌，千花碧玉盆。桌上有龍肝和鳳髓，熊掌與猩唇。珍饈百味般般美，異果嘉殽色色新。那裡鋪設得齊齊整整，卻還未有仙來。大圣驾著云，念声咒语，摇身一变，就变做赤脚大仙模样，前奔瑶池。不多时，直至宝阁，按住云头，轻轻移步，走入里面。只见那里：琼香缭绕，瑞霭缤纷。瑶台铺彩结，宝阁散氤氲。凤翥鸾翔形缥缈，金花玉萼影浮沉。上排著九凤丹霞扆，八宝紫霓墩，五彩描金桌，千花碧玉盆。桌上有龙肝和凤髓，熊掌与猩唇。珍馐百味般般美，异果嘉殽色色新。那里铺设得齐齐整整，却还未有仙来。

總評 Commentary
The 賦 lavishes the whole vocabulary of celestial splendour on the banquet hall — dragon-liver and phoenix-marrow, jade basins, cinnabar-cloud screens — only to close on one deflating line of prose: 卻還未有仙來 ("yet not an immortal had come"). The entire gorgeous apparatus of heaven’s feast stands ready and empty, its guests scattered on the 心猿’s false errand. The poem’s abundance is built precisely to be violated.
That the disguised mind enters in "the very likeness of the Barefoot Immortal" (赤腳大仙模樣) sharpens the alchemical irony. He wears the form of the true adept — the one the previous poem showed bearing the register "beyond birth and death" — but only as a costume for theft. The imposter walks the elixir-laden hall in the borrowed shape of authentic attainment, which is, in the 丹 reading, the counterfeit of cultivation: the outward semblance of the immortal without the inward work, about to consume what only the work can earn.
