《太平广记·卷三十六·神仙三十六》
你们因为我年纪大，是长辈，每当我过生日都送给我一些衣服玩物，已经十分奢侈了。但是我把长期以来得到的，封存在一个屋子里，一直没有仔细看，白白损耗了你们的资财，在我这里有如粪土，究竟是为什么呢？
尔辈以吾老长行，每馈吾生日衣装玩具，侈亦至矣；然吾自以久所得，缄之一室，曾未阅视，徒损尔之给用，资吾之粪土，竟何为哉！
"Because I am old, as your senior, every time you celebrate my birthday you give me luxurious gifts such as clothing and toys. I have stored away over a long time all the things I have received and have not even looked at them carefully. I have wasted your money; to me they are worthless."
