In the Lie Yi Zhuan (Tales of the Strange) of the Wei-Jin era, there is the following story: There was a scholar named Tan, 40 years old and unmarried. One night he was reading the Shi Jing (Book of Odes), when a young girl of 15 or 16 appeared.
在魏晉時代《列異傳》中，有這麼一則故事。一位談姓書生四十無婦，夜讀詩經，忽然一位年方十五、六的妙齡女子出現，自薦枕席、結為夫妻。
