Shengmeng Ge 聖夢歌
By Ai Rulüe 艾儒略 (Giulio Aleni).
One juan. Chinese bamboo paper in one volume.
Reprinted and published by the Qinyitang 欽一堂 of Sanshan 三山 (Fujian) in 1684 (Kangxi 23).
The cover bears a Latin inscription: "Cantico sanctorum | somniorum | a christiano Lin" (erroneously taking Lin Yijun 林一儁, the author of the introduction, as the author of the book).

There is a preface (two folios) by Zhangzi 張子, (Mr. Chang) of Qingyuan 清源, Fujian, an introduction (two folios) by Lin Yijun of Futang 福唐 (Fujian) and a postscript (one folio) by Li Jiubiao 李九標 of Futang. The proofreaders were Hsiung Shih-ch’i (Xiong Shiqi 熊士旂) of Chin-hsien (Jinxian 進賢, Kiangsi), P’an Shih-k’ung (Pan Shikong 潘師孔) of T’ao-yüan (Taoyuan 桃源) and Su Fu-ying (Su Fuying 蘇負英) of Chin-chiang 晉江, both from Fukien. The main text consists of nine folios.
This booklet is a translation of a song, attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux, rendered in the form of a poem known in Chinese as ch’i-ku (qigu 七古). It starts with the soul making complaint to the body and the body in turn to the soul. Then comes the reply of the soul to the body and of the body to the soul. This is followed by an appearance of the devil, who makes a speech. Finally, the sleeper wakes up from his dream. The style of the poem is quite close to that of the t’an-tz’u (tanci 彈詞), i.e., stories put into rhyme and to be chanted with an accompaniment of musical instruments. It is a didactic treatise with a moral. According to Pfister (p. 133) the book is also known as Hsing-ling p’ien (Xingling pian 性靈篇).
Cf. Hsü 1949, pp. 341–343; Courant 6884 (1637 edition), 6885 and 7379 III (both 1684 editions); BR, p. XXXIII/XXXIV.

"..... a short meditation or pious thought for 30 occasions or moments during the day, from the early morning to the late evening (see ’table of contents’). "The author teaches how during all daily activities, even the most simple ones, one can elevate one’s soul to God, while observing the infinite perfections of God in material objects and thanking him for his blessings and accepting the hardships of life with resignation. The style of this text is simple and the thoughts are pious" (Pfister, in translation). The text opens (f. 1a3) with referring to an admonition expressed by Jesus: 吾主耶穌在世訓十二宗徒曰 爾當恆求天主而無倦 (cf. Luke 18:1, “And he spoke a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint”)" --Cf. Ad Dudink & Nicolas Standaert, Chinese Christian Texts Database (CCT-Database).
