The song written by a genius at Tai Wo Ting in the
Tsing Un distict by means of the planchette.
B.
On the night of the 1st of the 7th Moon of this year
all the good and faithful people invited the genius to give
advice on the subject of the inundation, and the genius kindly
attended the altar and wrote as follows.
The King of Tung Liu (i.e. the Manchu Emperor) is
destined to come to an end. Flood, drought and battle is every-
where the same. A bushel of rice will cost a 1,000 cash, the
people are dissatisfied. Subscriptions and contributions are
repeatedly demanded, rendering the people and officials poor.
The people's mind and the intention of Heaven are both alike
this. Everywhere there will be raised rebellion and warfare.
If you wish for peace and a great world you must be clipped in
the favour of the Creator before the world can be enlarged.
Such an opportunity shall occur in the Southern Provinces. And
the place in Kwangtung where the streams meet there shall rise
up a dragon. This dragon will turn the course of the milky way,
to discharge its waters for cleansing this world. Wherever my flag reaches it will top all others in splendour. Since I have
fulfilled the intention of Heaven, men's minds will be obedient.
I give you peace so that you may be successful.
Then the planchette stopped, and as all the good and
faithful men present thought that the meaning was too obscure they requested the genius to give an explanation and the plan-
chette continued to write. The Government is in confusion and
the taxes are heavy. The people cannot endure it. Their dis- content has reached Heaven, Calamities sent by Heaven follow. If you want peace you must wait until the new ruler comes.
When the planchette is still, I am off.
