《宋书·志·卷十五》
史臣查考《周礼》记载的女巫掌管每年按时令举行祈求除邪去灾的祭祀，以及进行衅浴的事，就像现在三月上旬巳曰到水上举行祓祭的事相类似。
史臣案《周礼》，女巫掌岁时祓除衅浴，如今三月上巳如水上之类也。
According to the historical records, the Classic of Rites records that the witch was in charge of holding an annual sacrifice to pray for freedom from evil and calamity and also of performing the Xieyu ceremony, which was very similar to the Fujie sacrifice that is held on the water in the early days of the third month.
