Chien Wu（肩吾）said to Lien Shu（连叔）：“ I heard from Chieh Yü（接舆）some utterances that were great but could not be justified.Once stated，there is no end of his tale.I was greatly startled at what he said.It seemed to be as boundless as the Milky Way.It was very improbable and far removed from human experience.”
“What did he say？”asked Lien Shu.
“He said，”replied Chien Wu，“Far away on the mountain of Ku I（姑射），there lived a spiritual man.His flesh and skin were like ice and snow.His manner was elegant and graceful as that of a maiden.He did not eat any of the five grains，but inhaled the wind and drank the dew.”
