簡介

綺春園涵秋館東山外側山凹處,有點景之物露水神台,亦稱仙人承露台。為山石叢中建高台,上豎銅鑄托盤仙人,寓意承接天降甘露。仙人面東,台前有四柱石欄。前臨東湖。據昔日藏圖可知,該仙人承露台,底層青山石高1.28米,磚砌方形仙台高0.96米,圓形石須彌座高2.66米,銅仙人蓮花座高2.43米。此景似為嘉慶年間修建。
圓明園被劫毀後,仙人承露台之銅仙人不知散失何處,但該台圓形石雕須彌座仍在,1925年前後被拉運至中山公園。1931年3月下旬,營造學社在中山公園舉辦《圓明園遺物文獻展覽》時,此石為參展遺物。現圓形石雕須彌座倒撲在中山公園管理處之北.

This vista was located on a hill on the western side of the lake containing the Fenglin Islet. According to legend,Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (reigning 140-87 BC) longed for an eternal life. When he heard that swallowing jade powder mixed with heavenly dew could help him attain his desire, he ordered the making of a bronze immortal holding a plate at the Jianzhang Temple in Xi'an. A bronze statue of the same kind was erected at Qichunyuan during Emperor Jiaqing['s reign, which disappeared when the garden was destroyed. Today, standing in its place is a sculpture of black marble carved in 1989, its size and style designed in accordance with a picture preserved by the Qing court.
