劉成魚。唐天寶中當塗漁人劉成李暉。載魚往丹陽泊舟浦中。李他往。劉遽見舡上大魚振鬣搖首稱阿彌陀佛。劉驚奔於岸。俄聞萬魚俱跳躍念佛。聲動天地。劉大恐盡投魚於江。李至不信。劉即用己財償之。明日於荻中得錢萬五千（十五貫也）題云還汝魚直。

Liu Cheng's fish. During the Tianbao era of the Tang, fishermen Liu Cheng and Li Hui of Dangtu loaded fish and sailed toward Danyang, mooring their boat in an inlet. Li went elsewhere. Suddenly, Liu saw a large fish on the boat flutter its fins, shake its head, and invoke 'Amitābha Buddha'. Startled, Liu fled to the shore. Shortly thereafter, he heard tens of thousands of fish all leaping and reciting the Buddha's name, the sound shaking heaven and earth. In great terror, Liu threw all the fish into the river. When Li arrived, he did not believe it. Liu then compensated him with his own wealth. The next day, among the reeds, he found fifteen thousand cash (fifteen strings) with an inscription: 'Repaying the value of your fish.'
