前周葛由。蜀羌人也。周成王時。好刻木作羊賣之。一旦乘木羊入蜀中。蜀中王侯貴人追之上綏山。綏山在峨嵋西南。高無極也。隨之者不復還。皆得仙道。故里論曰。得綏山一桃。雖不能僊亦足以豪。山下立祠數十處(見搜神記)。
Ge You of the Former Zhou was a Qiang person of Shu. In the time of King Cheng of Zhou, he was fond of carving wooden sheep and selling them. One morning, he rode a wooden sheep into Shu. The princes and nobles of Shu pursued him up Mount Sui. Mount Sui lies southwest of Emei, boundlessly high. Those who followed him never returned; all attained the way of immortals. Hence the local saying went: “To obtain a single peach from Mount Sui: though one cannot become an immortal, it is enough to make one powerful.” At the foot of the mountain, shrines were erected in several dozen places (seen in Soushen ji).
