《太平广记·卷四百七十·水族七》
唐代开元年间，东京有个官吏想要升迁但家里没有钱活动，便往南到江淮一带去，找自己的朋友寻求资助，但却一直没有能借到钱，长久地在扬州一带徘徊停留。
唐开元时，东京士人以迁历不给，南游江淮，求丐知己，困而无获，徘徊扬州久之。
In the Kaiyuan years of the Tang Dynasty, there was an official in Tokyo who wanted to get promoted but had no money to do so at home, so he went south to the Jiang淮area to ask his friends for help, but he could not borrow money and stayed in Yangzhou for a long time.
