The pinyin of Bodhisattvaman's ancient poem is as follows:
The hills overlap and the golden light disappears, [xiǎo shān zhòng dié jīn míng miè] The clouds on the temples want to capture the fragrant snow on the cheeks. [bìn yún yù dù xiāng sāi xuě] Too lazy to draw eyebrows, [lǎn qǐ huà é méi] too late to put on makeup and wash up. [nòng zhuāng shū xǐ chí]
Looking at flowers in the front and rear mirrors, [zhào huā qián hòu jìng] the flowers reflect each other. [huā miàn jiāo xiàng yìng] The new post is embroidered with Luo Ru, [xīn tiē xiù luó rú] There are two golden partridges. [shuāng shuāng jīn zhè gū]

When Wei Zhuang was born, his family had been in decline for a long time. His father Wei Yun died early, and he grew up in an environment of "young orphans and poverty". In the first year of Guangming Dynasty, Wei Zhuang was in Chang'an to take the imperial examination. At that time, Huang Chao's army captured Chang'an and failed to escape. In the 23rd year of Zhonghe, he fled to Luoyang.
In the first year of Qianning, he passed the exam again and was appointed as the school secretary. He was nearly sixty years old. In the fourth year of Qianning, he was ordered to go to Shu with the admonishment official Li Xun to preach, and met Wang Jian. Later, he held the posts of left and right supplementary officers in the court, and wrote many times to offer suggestions. In the first year of Tianfu, Wei Zhuang applied for the post of secretary of the Xishu branch.
In the fourth year of God's blessing, Wei Zhuang persuaded Wang Jian to proclaim himself emperor and establish the Kingdom of Shu. He was highly regarded and was appointed as a regular servant of Zuo Sanqi. Later, he moved to Tongping Zhangshi, the minister of the family, and Tongping Zhangshi, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs. In the third year of Wucheng's reign, Wei Zhuang died in Hualinfang, Chengdu, at the age of 75.
