Notes

Nushen 2/20 [in chinese characters] I was standing on top of the balcony looking down. Some magpies transformed into goddesses and flew down to the ground. They had such beautiful bodies, and wore red G-strings over their skirts. There were three of them. People on the street were amazed by the sight and laughed.
