| | Mount Lieguye lies in the middle of Haihe Zhou, and on its mountain there are divine beings who breathe air and drink dew, without eating the five grains; Their minds are as deep as fathomless springs, their forms as pure as virgins; they neither cling nor desire, and sages and immortals serve them as subjects; They do not fear or anger, and the obedient and sincere serve as their attendants; They neither exert effort nor show favor, yet all things are naturally sufficient; They do not accumulate or collect, and yet they commit no faults. The yin and yang remain in constant harmony, the sun and moon shine eternally bright, the four seasons follow their regular course, winds and rains are always evenly distributed, all living things grow at their proper times, and harvests of grain are perennially abundant; The land suffers no plagues or damage, people suffer no premature deaths or misfortunes, things have no flaws or ailments, and spirits make no ominous sounds.
