《太平广记·卷一百四十五·征应十》
湖南武穆王巡视边境，回船行到洞庭湖宜春江口。忽然刮起暴风，波涛象相连的山峰，只见波涛中发出奸诈嘲笑的怪声，蛟龙鬼妖相继出没，云遮雾罩，天空昏濛一片，有的象武士拿刀持枪，有的象文官穿官衣抱着公文，还有的好象捧盘端盂。有红有绿。只一眨眼的工夫。
湖南武穆王巡边，回舟至洞庭宜春江口，暴风忽至，波如连山，乃见波中，恢诡谲怪，蛟螭出没，云雾昏蒙，有如武夫执戈戟者，有文吏具襕简者，有如捧盘盂者，或绯或绿，倏闪睢盱，莫知何物。
King Wu Mu of Hunan was inspecting the border and returned by boat to the mouth of the Yichun River at Dongting Lake. A sudden storm struck, and the waves rose like mountains. From the waves came mocking voices and monsters, such as jiaolong dragons and evil spirits, emerged. The sky darkened, and clouds and mist obscured the vision. Some of the figures looked like soldiers with weapons, some like government officials in formal dress carrying briefcases, and still others held trays or bowls. They were red and green in color. This lasted only a moment.
