冠先。宋人也。以釣為業。居睢水傍百餘年。得魚或放或賣或自食之。常冠帶好種荔食其葩實焉。宋景公問其道。不告。即殺之。後數十年踞宋城門上鼓琴。數十日乃去。宋人家家奉祠之（右三驗出搜神異記）。

Guanxian was a man of Song who made his living by fishing. He lived beside the Sui River for over a hundred years. When he caught fish, he would release some, sell some, or eat them himself. He always wore a cap and sash, was fond of planting water caltrops, and ate their blossoms and fruits. Duke Jing of Song asked him about his Dao, but he would not tell, so the Duke had him killed. Several decades later, he sat atop the city gate of Song playing the zither, leaving only after several tens of days. Every household in Song offered sacrifices to him. (The above three verifications are from the Soushen yiji.)
