述異記曰。廬山有三石梁。長數十丈。廣不盈尺。俯眄沓無底。咸康中江州刺史庾亮迎吳猛。猛將弟子。登山游觀。因過此梁。見一老公。坐桂樹下。以玉杯承甘露與猛。猛遍與弟子。又進至一處。見崇臺廣廈玉宇金房。琳琅焜耀暉彩眩目。多珍寶玉器不可識各見數人。與猛共言。若舊相識。設玉膏終日。

The Shuyi ji states: Mount Lu has three stone bridges, several tens of zhang in length and not a foot wide. Looking down, they plunge into bottomless depths. During the Xiankang era, Yu Liang, Regional Inspector of Jiangzhou, welcomed Wu Meng. Meng took his disciples to climb the mountain for sightseeing, and crossed this bridge. He saw an old man sitting beneath a cassia tree, who caught sweet dew in a jade cup and gave it to Meng. Meng shared it among all his disciples. Advancing further to another place, they saw lofty terraces, spacious mansions, jade eaves, and golden rooms, with brilliant jewels and resplendent lights dazzling to the eyes, along with many precious items and jade vessels that could not be identified. They each saw several people who conversed with Meng as if they were old acquaintances, serving jade paste all day long.
