江州廬山有三石梁。長數十丈廣不及尺。下望無底。晉咸康年中。庾亮為江州。登山過梁。見老公殊偉廈屋崇峻玉堂眩目奇塔崇竦。莫測是何。循繞久之。終非人宅。乃拜謝而返。

On Mount Lu in Jiangzhou, there are three stone bridges, tens of zhang long and less than a foot wide, looking down into a bottomless abyss. During the Xiankang reign-period of the Jin, Yu Liang served as governor of Jiangzhou. He climbed the mountain and crossed the bridges, where he saw an old man of extraordinary majesty, lofty and grand mansions, jade halls dazzling to the eyes, and a wondrous pagoda towering high, of which he could not tell what it was. After walking around it for a long time, [he realized] it was ultimately no human dwelling; he thereupon bowed in reverence, thanked [the host], and returned.
