| 昔余寓連山家中。童僕患瘧。余戲作四韻律一首。傅其背。瘧卽愈。其詩曰。土伯盤困九約身。峨峨離角柱穹旻。龍脂亂沸千尋钁。虎戟交摐萬甲神。哆喙吸來塵渤澥。張拳打破粉崑崙。可憐水帝孱兒鬼。星騖風馳地外淪。盖瘧鬼水神。而土克水。故用楚辭土伯之語也。其後。家中有病瘧者。以其破紙。傅相傅背。無不立效。自是。隣里有是病者。謄書而付。一邑皆然。至於恩津石城扶餘公州鎭岑錦山之間。互相傅寫。雖積年老瘧。無不一紙見效。可笑之甚也 |

| In the past when I lived at family home in Yŏnsan, Ch’ungch’ŏng province, a boy servant of mine contracted a malaria. I playfully composed a four-rhyme regulated verse and stuck it to his back and he immediately recovered from the plague. The poem said, 土伯盤困九約身峨峨雙角柱穹旻龍脂亂沸千尋鑊虎戟交樅萬甲神哆喙吸來塵渤懈張拳打破粉昆侖可憐水帝孱兒鬼星鶩風馳地外淪 The Earth Spirit entangles with his body coiled nine times.With his two towering horns, he supports the sky.Dragon’s oil bubbles up in a thousand-feet tall caldron.The halberds of Tiger Guards attack ten thousand armored spirits. Opening the mouth, he drinks up the Bohai Sea to silt.Wielding the fist, he smashes down Kunlun Mountain to dust.Pitiful is the Water Emperor whose children became cowardly demons!Riding on Star and Wind, he disappeared beyond Earth. Because the malaria demon is a water spirit, and also because Earth overcomes Water, I used the sayings from the Chuci about the Earth Spirit. Since then, when someone in the family contracted a plague, we beat it by sticking a piece of paper with the copied poem on his or her back and it always proved to be effective. Moreover, whoever was sick in the neighborhood also copied the poem and applied it to their bodies, and the whole village followed suit. People from Ŭnjin, Sŏksŏng, Puyŏ, Kongju, Chinam, and Kŭmsan copied the poem from each other. There is none that did not see the efficaciousness of that one piece of paper, even those who suffered many years from the plague. This truly is amusing. |
