Looking west to the Jade Pool, the Queen Mother descends from the east, and the purple qi fills the Hangu Pass.
These two lines of poetry came from Du Fu's Eight Autumn Songs (V). From the literal meaning, looking to the west, it was as if the Queen Mother of the West had descended from the Jade Pool, and the auspicious purple qi from the east filled Hangu Pass. In the context of the poem, these two poems described the buildings of the Tang Palace (Penglai Palace in the first sentence, etc.) and then involved people. The "Queen Mother" may refer to Yang Guifei, and the "Purple Qi" corresponds to the Son of Heaven. While it seemed to describe the graceful and luxurious atmosphere of the Emperor and Empress in the peaceful period, it also implied irony, suggesting that the royal family lived in peace and shamelessness, which foreshadowed the disaster in the later chapters. These two lines were also quoted or adapted by later generations. For example, Hong Sheng's "Longevity Palace·Dance Plate" had a line that read,"Purple air comes from the east, Jade Pool looks west, and the blue bird descends in front of the court." At the same time, the Queen Mother of the West had many symbolic meanings in myths and legends. She was the goddess of longevity in ancient China myths and legends, who was in charge of immortality medicine, punishing evil, and warning disasters. She lived in Mount Kunlun in the west, was in charge of female immortals, and dominated Yin Qi. She was also related to longevity, health, marriage, and childbirth. Purple Qi was often regarded as a symbol of good fortune, good fortune, and nobility in the cultural sense. It meant that business was prosperous, people were prosperous, businesses were prosperous, and wealth was endless.
