Story:
During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu, in his later years, became exceptionally superstitious, always hoping to achieve immortality. He held great reverence for deities.
He often fasted and meditated quietly in the Chenghua Palace. One day, he saw two blue birds flying in the sky, circling the grand hall.
He asked Dongfang Shuo about them, and Dongfang Shuo informed him that these were the blue bird messengers of the Queen Mother of the West. This made the Emperor even more devout in his worship of the gods.
