舉：「東寺問仰山：『甚處人？』山云：『廣州。』寺云：『我聞廣州有鎮海明珠是否？』山云：『是。』寺云：『作何顏色？』山云：『黑月則現，白月則隱。』寺云：『子還帶得來麼？』山云：『帶得來。』寺云：『何不呈似老僧？』山云：『諾，惠寂昨到溈山，亦被索此珠，直得無言可對無理可伸。』寺云：『真師子兒大師子吼。』」

> \[Yuanwu\] brought up \[the case\]: "Dongsi asked Yangshan, 'Where are you from?' Yangshan said, 'Guangzhou.' Dongsi said, 'I hear Guangzhou has a bright pearl that settles the sea; is that so or not?' Yangshan said, 'It is.' Dongsi said, 'What color is it?' Yangshan said, 'In the dark of the moon it appears; in the brightness of the moon it hides.' Dongsi said, 'Did you bring it along?' Yangshan said, 'I brought it along.' Dongsi said, 'Why not present it to this old monk?' Yangshan said, 'Very well; yesterday when Huiji arrived at Guishan, he was also demanded of this pearl, so that there was no word to answer and no principle to state.' Dongsi said, 'Truly a lion's cub, a great lion's roar!'"
