The phrase “pure in heart and sweet in smell” comes from the third of Du Fu’s poem “Four Songs of Praising Public Houses at Dayun Temple”. The original poem reads: “The shadow of a lamp shines without sleep, and the heart is clear to smell the wonderful fragrance. The hall is abrupt at night, and the wind is moving with gold and jade pendants. The sky is dark and the spring courtyard is closed, and the ground is clear and fragrant. The jade rope is completely cut off, and the iron phoenix forest soars. When the Brahman is released, the bell remains in the Yin bed. In the fertile fields of the Ming Dynasty, it is as if dust and sand were yellow.” Emperor Qianlong chose this sentence to engrave in the seal, which is different from the state of mind of Du Fu at that time. Instead, he compared his clear heart with his own, and compared it with the wonderful fragrance. It is said that he is in a peaceful world, with good physical and mental health, Enjoy infinite peace and quiet
