《太平广记·卷二百二十七·伎巧三》
这位夏将军在新抹的泥墙上插刺棘几十株，手中拿着煮烂的豆子，距离有一丈远，投掷墙上的棘刺，百发百中，没有一枚豆子不是穿在棘刺上的。
又于新泥墙安棘刺数十，取烂豆，相去一丈，掷豆贯于刺上，百不差一。
General Xia stuck dozens of thorny shrubs in a newly plastered mud wall. Holding boiled beans at a distance of one zhang, he threw them at the thorns on the wall, and every shot hit its mark, with every bean piercing a thorn.
