《南史·本纪·卷四》
十三岁时，梦见有人用笔在他的身体左右两边一画就成了两个翅膀，又穿着孔雀羽衣裳在空中飞舞，全身生着绒毛，头发长到脚跟。
年十三，梦人以笔画身左右爲两翅，又着孔雀羽衣裳空中飞，举体生毛，发长至足。
At the age of thirteen, he dreamt that someone painted his body with a pen, which turned into two wings, and then flew in the air wearing a peacock feather garment, with fluff growing all over his body and hair reaching to his heels.
