《南史·列传·卷七十二》
当初，刘勰撰《文心雕龙》五十篇，评论古今文体，其序言说： 我在三十多岁时，曾在夜里梦见捧着丹漆礼器，跟随仲尼南行。醒来后高兴地说： 真是伟大啊！圣人出现多么不容易啊。是圣人给我托的梦吧。
初，勰撰文心雕龙五十篇，论古今文体，其序略云： 予齿在逾立，尝夜梦执丹漆之礼器，随仲尼而南行，寤而喜曰：大哉，圣人之难见也，乃小子之垂梦欤！
In the past, Liu Xie wrote fifty chapters of "Wenxin Diaolong", a critical commentary on the writing styles of ancient and modern works. Its preface said: "When I was in my thirties, I dreamed of holding a red lacquered vessel and following Zhongni (Confucius) to the south. When I woke up, I was overjoyed and said, "This is truly a great honor! It is so rare to meet a sage. This must be a dream of the sage."
