《太平广记·卷一百七十五·幼敏》
朝廷的文艺机构教坊有个王大娘，善于用头顶百尺高竿，竿上放一个木山，形状好像海上的仙山。然后再让小孩手里拿着红色的木棍，在木山上歌舞不停。
时教坊有王大娘者，善戴百尺竿，竿上施木山，状瀛州方丈，令小儿持绛节，出入于其间，歌舞不辍。
Wang, a woman from the Chao's Art Institution, was good at standing a bamboo pole a hundred feet high on her head, and placing a wooden island on the pole, which looked like the fairy island on the sea. Then let the child hold a red stick in his hand and dance on the island.
