Full Original Text (Classical Chinese):
「山靈久寂，風息草伏。以鼓召魂，以聲通天。古道無形，唯心可見。」

Full Transliteration (Pinyin):
Shān líng jiǔ jì, fēng xī cǎo fú. Yǐ gǔ zhào hún, yǐ shēng tōng tiān. Gǔ dào wú xíng, wéi xīn kě jiàn.

Full Translation:
"The mountain spirit has long been silent, the wind stilled, the grass bowed. With the drum, I summon the soul; with sound, I connect to heaven. The ancient path has no form; it is visible only to the heart."

Explanation:
This text encapsulates the core of a mountain-based shamanic ritual found in various East Asian traditions. It begins by acknowledging a dormant spiritual landscape ("the mountain spirit has long been silent"). The shaman, as an intermediary, acts to restore vitality and connection. The drum is the primary ritual tool, its rhythm used to "summon the soul" (zhào hún)—to call back spiritual essence or attract the attention of deities. The goal is to re-establish the cosmic link between earth and heaven (tōng tiān). The final line is a profound philosophical statement: the true ritual path (gǔ dào) is not a physical road but an inner, intuitive journey of the heart-mind (xīn), accessible only through sincere focus and spiritual clarity. This reflects the deep integration of shamanic practice with Daoist and animist worldviews.
