《列子·黄帝》
尧使用夔主管音乐，敲击着磬钟，各种野兽跟着跳舞；萧韶乐曲成了套，凤凰也来朝拜，这是用乐声吸引禽兽的例子。
尧使夔典乐，击石拊石，百兽率舞；《箫韶》九成，凤皇来仪：此以声致禽兽者也。
Yao appointed Kuei as the master of music, who played such airs as "Hsiao-shao," and all the wild beasts danced in time with the music; then the phoenixes came to pay homage to him; this shows how wild beasts can be attracted by the influence of music.
