In the 11th year of Qing Qianlong (1746), it was renamed "Wanshou Xiaozhong". In the early morning, the bell of the ancient temple broke through the clouds and broke dawn. The Zen master rang the bell and sang a melody.

Where can I find the longevity clock? The buildings in Dongcheng are towering into the sky. The firefly screen hangs Yue Xian high, and the golden song sings dragons and phoenixes low. Love to send Jingshan to treasure, hate to remember the sea. Gu Teng did not return to Fengyi, and her eyes were full of prosperity. An ancient poem eulogized the grand occasion of Manjuji in those days!
