《太平广记·卷八十三·异人三》
老头儿说： 我所见到的，不外是梁隋陈唐几代的事情罢了，其中的贤愚和治乱，在国史书上都已记载；我只把与史书不同的亲身经历讲给你听听吧。
叟曰： 吾之所见，梁隋陈唐耳，贤愚治乱，国史已具，然请以身所异者语子。
The old man said: "All I have seen are the affairs of the Liang, Sui, Chen and Tang dynasties, all their wise or foolish rulers and good or bad governance are recorded in the national histories, I will only tell you about my own personal experiences that are different from the histories."
