《太平广记·卷四百七十·水族七》
唐朝天宝年间，荆州有个打渔的人钓到一条青鱼，长一丈，鳞上有五色圆形花纹，异常美丽。渔夫不认识这是什么鱼，因为它和平常的鱼不一样，也就没有拿到集市上去卖。
唐天宝中，荆州渔人得钓青鱼，长一丈，鳞上有五色圆花，异常端丽，渔人不识，以其与常鱼异，不持诣市，自烹食，无味，颇怪焉。
During the Tianbao years of the Tang Dynasty, there was a fisherman in Jingzhou who caught a green fish, one zhang long, with round, colorful patterns on its scales, exceptionally beautiful. The fisherman did not know what kind of fish this was, because it was different from ordinary fish, so he did not take it to the market to sell.
