宋高僧傳 29.17

29.17

泓每行視山原，即為圖狀，甞自洛東言於張說曰：「缺門道左有好山岡，丞相可用之。」說曰：「已位極人臣，吉孰過此？」泓曰：「無人勝此。」遂咨源監察乾曜，曰：「先人有遺旨矣。」後曜請假東洛遷奉而迴，已經年矣。泓再經缺門，其地已成塋兆，問居人，曰：「源氏之松柏也。」泓曰：「冥數合歸源氏，坐可待其變化。」不數年，曜果登庸焉。

Whenever Hong inspected mountains and plains, he drew diagrams and shapes. He once said from the east of Luoyang to Zhang Yue: 'To the left of the Que Gate road there is a fine mountain ridge; the Chancellor may use it.' Yue said: 'I have already reached the pinnacle of subjecthood; what good fortune could surpass this?' Hong said: 'No one can surpass this.' He then consulted Censor Yuan Qianyao, who said: 'My late father left instructions.' Later Qianyao requested leave to rebury his parents in the eastern capital and returned, after a year had passed. When Hong passed Que Gate again, the ground had already become a grave mound. He asked the local residents, who said: 'These are the pines and cypresses of the Yuan family.' Hong said: 'By unseen destiny it ought to belong to the Yuan family; one can sit and wait for the transformation to unfold.' Within a few years, Qianyao was indeed promoted to high office.
