彭祖者。殷時大夫也。歷夏而至商末號七百。常食桂芝。歷陽有彭祖仙室。前世云。禱請風雲莫不輒應。常有兩虎在祠左右。今日祠之訖。地則有兩虎跡云（右四事出搜神記）。

Pengzu was a grandee of the Yin period. Passing through the Xia down to the end of the Shang, he was said to be seven hundred years old. He regularly consumed cinnamon and mushrooms. In Liyang there was an immortal chamber of Pengzu. People of previous generations said that whenever prayers were made for wind and clouds, they were invariably answered. There were always two tigers on the left and right of the shrine; today, when sacrifices to him are completed, the tracks of two tigers appear on the ground. (The four items above are from the Soushen ji.)
