《太平广记·卷四百零四·宝五（杂》
到了盛夏，皇上把玳瑁盆放在殿内，里边装满水，让宫中的女官拿着金银勺，酌盆里的水互相浇洒，以为游戏。
及盛夏，上置于殿内，贮水令满，遣嫔御持金银杓，酌水相沃，以为嬉戏。
When midsummer arrived, the emperor placed the tortoise shell basin in the hall, filled it with water, and had the female officials of the palace hold gold and silver spoons, taking turns pouring water from the basin and splashing it on each other as a game.
