搜神記卷十五

秦始皇時，有王道平，長安人也，少時與同村人唐叔偕女，小名父喻，容 色俱美，誓為夫婦。尋王道平被差征伐，落墮南國，九年不歸，父母見女 長成。即聘與劉祥為妻，女與道平，言誓甚重，不肯改事。父母逼迫，不 免出嫁劉祥。經三年，忽忽不樂，常思道平，忿怨之深，悒悒而死。死經 三年，平還家，乃詰鄰人：「此女安在？」鄰人云：「此女意在於君，被 父母淩逼，嫁與劉祥，今已死矣。」平問：『墓在何處？」鄰人引往墓所 ，平悲號哽咽，三呼女名，繞墓悲苦，不能自止。平乃祝曰：「我與汝立 誓天地，保其終身，豈料官有牽纏，致令乖隔，使汝父母與劉祥，既不契 於初心，生死永訣。然汝有靈聖，使我見汝生平之面。若無神靈，從茲而 別。」言訖，又復哀泣逡巡。其女魂自墓出，問平：「何處而來？良久契 闊。與君誓為夫婦，以結終身，父母強逼，乃出聘劉祥，已經三年，日夕 憶君，結恨致死，乖隔幽途。然念君宿念不忘，再求相慰，妾身未損，可 以再生，還為夫婦。且速開冢，破棺，出我，即活。」平審言，乃啟墓門 ，捫看。其女果活。乃結束隨平還家。其夫劉祥聞之，驚怪，申訴於州縣 。檢律斷之，無條，乃錄狀奏王。王斷歸道平為妻。壽一百三十歲。實謂 精誠貫於天地，而獲感應如此。

晉武帝世，河間郡有男女私悅，許相配適；尋而男從軍，積年不歸，女家 更欲適之，女不願行，父母逼之，不得已而去，尋病死。其男戍還，問女 所在，其家具說之；乃至冢，欲哭之敘哀，而不勝其情，遂發冢，開棺， 女即蘇活，因負還家，將養數日，平復如初。後夫聞，乃往求之；其人不 還，曰：「卿婦已死，天下豈聞死人可復活耶？此天賜我，非卿婦也。」

漢獻帝建安中，南陽賈偶，字文合，得病而亡。時有吏，將詣太山司命， 閱簿，謂吏曰：「當召某郡文合，何以召此人？可速遣之。」時日暮，遂 至郭外樹下宿，見一年少女獨行，文合問曰：「子類衣冠，何乃徒步？姓 字為誰？」女曰：「某，三河人，父見為弋陽令，昨被召來，今卻得還， 遇日暮，懼獲瓜田李下之譏，望君之容，必是賢者，是以停留，依憑左右 。」文合曰：「悅子之心，願交歡於今夕。」女曰：「聞之諸姑：女子以 貞專為德，潔白為稱。」文合反覆與言，終無動志。天明，各去。文合卒 巳再宿，停喪將殮，視其面，有色，捫心下，稍溫，少頃，卻蘇。後文合 欲驗其實，遂至弋陽，修刺謁令，因問曰：「君女寧卒而卻蘇耶？」具說 女子姿質，服色，言語，相反覆本末。令入問女，所言皆同。乃大驚歎。 竟以此女配文合焉。

漢建安四年二月，武陵充縣婦人李娥，年六十歲，病卒，埋於城外，已十 四日。娥比舍有蔡仲，聞娥富，謂殯當有金寶，乃盜發冢求金，以斧剖棺 。斧數下，娥於棺中言曰：「蔡仲！汝護我頭。」仲驚，遽便出走，會為 縣吏所見，遂收治。依法，當棄市。娥兒聞母活，來迎出，將娥回去。武 陵太守聞娥死復生，召見，問事狀。娥對曰：「聞謬為司命所召，到時， 得遣出，過西門外，適見外兄劉伯文，驚相勞問，涕泣悲哀。娥語曰：『 伯文！我一日誤為所召，今得遣歸，既不知道，不能獨行，為我得一伴否 ？又我見召在此，已十餘日，形體又為家人所葬埋，歸，當那得自出？』 伯文曰：『當為問之。』即遣門卒與尸曹相問：『司命一日誤召武陵女子 李娥，今得遣還，娥在此積日，尸喪，又當殯殮，當作何等得出；又女弱 ，獨行，豈當有伴耶？是吾外妹，幸為便安之。」答曰：『今武陵西界， 有男子李黑，亦得遣還，便可為伴。兼敕黑過娥比舍蔡仲，發出娥也。』 於是娥遂得出。與伯文別，伯文曰：『書一封，以與兒佗。』娥遂與黑俱 歸。事狀如此。」太守聞之，慨然歎曰：「天下事真不可知也。」乃表， 以為：「蔡仲雖發冢為鬼神所使；雖欲無發，勢不得已，宜加寬宥。」詔 書報可。太守欲驗語虛實，即遣馬吏於西界，推問李黑，得之，與黑語協 。乃致伯文書與佗，佗識其紙，乃是父亡時送箱中文書也。表文字猶在也 ，而書不可曉。乃請費長房讀之，曰：「告佗：我當從府君出案行部，當 以八月八日日中時，武陵城南溝水畔頓。汝是時必往。」到期，悉將大小 於城南待之。須臾果至，但聞人馬隱隱之聲，詣溝水，便聞有呼聲曰：「 佗來！汝得我所寄李娥書不耶？」曰：「即得之，故來至此。」伯文以次 呼家中大小，久之，悲傷斷絕，曰：死生異路，不能數得汝消息，吾亡後 ，兒孫乃爾許大！」良久，謂佗曰：「來春大病，與此一丸藥，以塗門戶 ，則辟來年妖癘矣。」言訖，忽去，竟不得見其形。至來春，武陵果大病 ，白日皆見鬼，唯伯文之家，鬼不敢向。費長房視藥丸，曰：「此『方相 』腦也。」

漢，陳留考城，史姁，字威明，年少時，嘗病，臨死，謂母曰：「我死， 當復生。埋我，以竹杖柱於瘞上，若杖折，掘出我。」及死，埋之柱，如 其言。七日，往視，杖果折。即掘出之，已活。走至井上，浴，平復如故 。後與鄰船至下邳賣鋤，不時售，云：「欲歸。」人不信之，曰：「何有 千里暫得歸耶？」答曰：「一宿便還。」即書，取報以為驗。實一宿便還 ，果得報。考城令江夏賈和姊病，在鄰里，欲急知消息，請往省之。路遙 三千，再宿還報。

會稽賀瑀、字彥琚，曾得疾，不知人，惟心下溫，死三日，復蘇。云：「 吏人將上天，見官府，入曲房，房中有層架，其上層有印，中層有劍，使 瑀惟意所取；而短不及上層，取劍以出門，吏問：『何得？』云：『得劍 ，』曰：『恨不得印，可策百神，劍惟得使社公耳。』」疾愈，果有鬼來 ，稱社公。

戴洋，字國流，吳興長城人，年十二，病死。五日而蘇。說：「死時，天 使其酒藏吏授符籙，給吏從幡麾，將上蓬萊、崑崙、積石、太室、廬、衡 等山，既而遣歸、」妙解占候。知吳將亡，託病不仕，還鄉里，行至瀨鄉 ，經老子祠，皆是洋昔死時所見使處，但不復見昔物耳。因問守藏應鳳曰 ：「去二十餘年，嘗有人乘馬東行，經老君祠而不下馬，未達橋，墜馬死 者否？」鳳言有之。所問之事，多與洋同。

吳，臨海松陽人，柳榮，從吳相張悌至揚州，榮病，死船中，二日，軍士

已上岸。無有埋之者，忽然大叫，言：「人縛軍師！人縛軍師！」聲甚激

揚。遂活。人問之。榮曰：「上天北斗門下卒，見人縛張悌，意中大愕，

不覺大叫言。何以縛軍師？」門下人怒榮，叱逐使去。榮便怖懼，口餘聲

發揚耳。其日，悌即死戰。榮至晉元帝時猶存。

吳國富陽人馬勢婦，姓蔣，村人應病死者，蔣輒恍惚熟眠經日，見病人死

，然後省覺。覺，則具說。家中人不信之。語人云：「某中病我欲殺之，

怒強，魂難殺，未即死。我入其家內，架上有白米(食卞)，幾種鮭，我暫

過灶下，戲，婢無故犯我，我打其脊，使婢當時悶絕，久之乃蘇。」其兄

病，在烏衣人令殺之，向其請乞，終不下手。醒，乃語兄云，「當活。」

晉咸寧二年十二月，瑯琊顏畿，字世都，得病，就醫，張瑳自治，死於張 家。棺斂已久。家人迎喪，旐每繞樹木而不可解。人咸為之感傷。引喪者 忽顛仆，稱畿言曰：「我壽命未應死，但服藥太多，傷我五臟耳。今當復 活，慎無葬也。」其父拊而祝之，曰：「若爾有命，當復更生，豈非骨肉 所願；今但欲還家，不爾葬也。」旐乃解。及還家，其婦夢之曰：「吾當 復生，可急開棺。」婦便說之。其夕，母及家人又夢之。即欲開棺，而父 不聽；其弟含，時尚少，乃慨然曰：「非常之事，自古有之；今靈異至此 ，開棺之痛，孰與不開相負？」父母從之。乃共發棺，果有生驗，以手刮 棺，指爪盡傷，然氣息甚微，存亡不分矣，於是急以綿飲瀝口，能咽，遂 與出之。將護累月，飲食稍多，能開目視瞻，屈伸手足，不與人相當，不 能言語，飲食所須，托之以夢。如此者十餘年。家人疲於供護，不復得操 事；含乃棄絕人事，躬親侍養，以知名州黨。後更衰劣，卒復還死焉。

羊祜，年五歲時，令乳母取所弄金鐶，乳母曰：「汝先無此物。」祜即詣

鄰人李氏東垣桑樹中，探得之。主人驚曰：「此吾亡兒所失物也，云何持

去？」乳母具言之。李氏悲惋。時人異之。

漢末，關中大亂，有發前漢宮人冢者，宮人猶活，既出，平復如舊。魏郭

后愛念之，錄置宮內，常在左右，問漢時宮中事，說之了了，皆有次緒。

郭后崩，哭泣過哀，遂死。

魏時太原發冢，破棺，棺中有一生婦人，將出，與語，生人也。送之京師

，問其本事，不知也。視其冢上樹木，可三十歲，不知此婦人三十歲，常

生於地中耶？將一朝欻生，偶與發冢者會也？

晉世，杜錫，字世嘏，家葬而婢誤不得出。後十餘年，開冢祔葬，而婢尚

生。云：「其始如瞑目。有頃，漸覺。」問之，自謂。「當一再宿耳。」

初婢埋時，年十五六，及開冢後，姿質如故。更生十五六年，嫁之，有子

。

漢桓帝馮貴人，病亡；靈帝時有盜賊發冢，七十餘年，顏色如故，但肉小

冷；群賊共奸通之，至鬥爭相殺，然後事覺。後竇太后家被誅，欲以馮貴

人配食下邳陳公達；議以貴人雖是先帝所幸，尸體穢污，不宜配至尊，乃

以竇太后配食。

吳孫休時，戍將於廣陵掘諸冢，取版，以治城，所壞甚多。復發一大冢， 內有重閣，戶扇皆樞轉可開閉，四周為徼道，通車，其高可以乘馬，又鑄 銅人數十，長五尺，皆大冠，朱衣，執劍，侍列。靈坐皆刻銅人。背後石 壁，言：殿中將軍，或言：侍郎，常侍。似公侯之冢。破其棺，棺中有人 ，髮已班白，衣冠鮮明，面體如生人。棺中雲母，厚尺許，以白玉璧三十 枚藉尸。兵人輦共舉出死人，以倚冢壁；有一玉，長尺許，形似冬瓜，從 死人懷中透出，墮地；兩耳及孔鼻中。皆有黃金，如棗許大。

漢廣川王好發冢。發欒書冢，其棺柩盟器，悉毀爛無餘；唯有一白狐，見 人驚走；左右逐之，不得，戟傷其左足。是夕，王夢一丈夫，鬚眉盡白， 來謂王曰：「何故傷吾左足？」乃以杖叩王左足。王覺，腫痛，即生瘡， 至死不差。

搜神記卷十六

昔顓頊氏有三子，死而為疫鬼：一居江水，為瘧鬼；一居若水，為魍魎鬼

；一居人宮室，善驚人小兒，為小鬼。於是正歲，命方相氏帥肆儺以驅疫

鬼。

挽歌者，喪家之樂，執紼者相和之聲也。挽歌辭有薤露，蒿里二章。漢田

橫門人作。橫自殺，門人傷之，悲歌，言：人如薤上露，易稀滅；亦謂人

死，精魂歸於蒿里。故有二章。

阮瞻，字千里，素執無鬼論。物莫能難。每自謂，此理足以辨正幽明。忽 有客通名詣瞻，寒溫畢，聊談名理。客甚有才辨，瞻與之言，良久，及鬼 神之事，反復甚苦。客遂屈，乃作色曰：「鬼神，古今聖賢所共傳，君何 得獨言無？即僕便是鬼。」於是變為異形，須臾消滅。瞻默然，意色太惡 。歲餘，病卒。

吳興施續為尋陽督，能言論，有門生亦有理意，常秉無鬼論。忽有一黑衣 白袷客來，與共語，遂及鬼神。移日，客辭屈。乃曰：「君辭巧，理不足 。僕即是鬼。何以云無；問：「鬼何以來？」答曰：「受使來取君。期盡 明日食時。」門生請乞，酸苦，鬼問：「有人似君者否？」門生云：「施 續帳下都督，與僕相似。」便與俱往，與都督對坐；鬼手中出一鐵鑿，可 尺餘，安著都督頭，便舉椎打之。都督云：頭覺微痛。」向來轉劇，食頃 ，便亡。

蔣濟，字子通，楚國平阿人也，仕魏，為領軍將軍。其婦夢見亡兒，涕泣 曰：「死生異路，我生時為卿相子孫，今在地下，為泰山伍伯，憔悴困苦 ，不可復言。今太廟西謳士孫阿見召為泰山令，願母為白侯，屬阿，令轉 我得樂處。」言訖，母忽然驚寤。明日以白濟。濟曰：「夢為虛耳，不足 怪也。」日暮，復夢曰：「我來迎新君，止在廟下未發之頃，暫得來歸。 新君，明日日中當發。臨發多事，不復得歸。永辭於此。侯氣彊難感悟， 故自訴於母，願重啟侯：何惜不一試驗之？」遂道阿之形狀言甚備悉。天 明，母重啟濟：「雖云夢不足怪，此何太適。適，亦何惜不一驗之？」濟 乃遺人詣太廟下，推問孫阿，果得之，形狀證驗，悉如兒言。濟涕泣曰： 「幾負吾兒。」於是乃見孫阿，具語其事。阿不懼當死，而喜得為泰山令 ，惟恐濟言不信也，曰：「若如節下言，阿之願也。不知賢子欲得何職？ 」濟曰：「隨地下樂者與之。」阿曰：「輒當奉教。」乃厚賞之。言訖， 遣還。濟欲速知其驗，從領軍門至廟下，十步安一人，以傳消息。辰時， 傳阿心痛；已時，傳阿劇；日中，傳阿亡。濟曰：「雖哀吾兒之不幸，且 喜亡者有知。」後月餘，兒復來，語母曰：「已得轉為錄事矣，」

漢，不其縣，有孤竹城，古孤竹君之國也，靈帝光和元年，遼西人見遼水 中有浮棺，欲斫破之；棺中人語曰：「我是伯夷之弟，孤竹君也。海水壞 我棺槨，是以漂流。汝斫我何為？」人懼，不敢斫。因為立廟祠祀。吏民 有欲發視者，皆無病而死。

溫序，字公次，太原祈人也，任護軍校尉，行部至隴西，為隗囂將所劫， 欲生降之。序大怒，以節撾殺人，賊趨，欲殺序。荀宇止之曰：「義士欲 死節。」賜劍，令自裁。序受劍，銜鬚著口中，歎曰：「則令鬚汙土。」 遂伏劍死。更始憐之，送葬到洛陽城旁，為築冢。長子壽，為印平侯，夢 序告之曰「久客思鄉。」壽即棄官，上書乞骸骨，歸葬。帝許之。

漢，南陽文穎，字叔長，建安中為甘陵府丞，過界止宿，夜三鼓時，夢見 一人跪前曰：「昔我先人，葬我於此，水來湍墓，棺木溺，漬水處半，然 無以自溫。聞君在此，故來相依，欲屈明日暫住須臾，幸為相遷高燥處。 」鬼披衣示穎，而皆沾溼。穎心愴然，即寤。語諸左右。曰：「夢為虛耳 亦何足怪。」穎乃還眠向寐處，夢見謂穎曰：「我以窮苦告君，奈何不相 愍悼乎？」穎夢中問曰：「子為誰？」對曰：「吾本趙人，今屬汪芒氏之 神。」穎曰：「子棺今何所在？」對曰：「近在君帳北十數步水側枯楊樹 下，即是吾也。天將明，不復得見，君必念之。」穎答曰：「喏！」忽然 便寤。天明，可發，穎曰：「雖曰夢不足怪，此何太適。」左右曰：「亦 何惜須臾，不驗之耶？」穎即起，率十數人將導順水上，果得一枯楊，曰 ：「是矣。」掘其下，未幾，果得棺。棺甚朽壞，沒半水中。穎謂左右曰 ：『向聞於人，謂之虛矣；世俗所傳，不可無驗。」為移其棺，葬之而去 。

瑯琊秦巨伯，年六十，嘗夜行，飲酒，道經蓬山廟，忽見其兩孫迎之；扶 持百餘步，便捉伯頸著地，罵：「老奴！汝某日捶我，我今當殺汝。」伯 思，惟某時信捶此孫。伯乃佯死，乃置伯去。伯歸家，欲治兩孫，兩孫驚 惋，叩頭言：「為子孫寧可有此？恐是鬼魅，乞更試之。」伯意悟，數日 ，乃詐醉，行此廟間，復見兩孫來扶持伯。伯乃急持，鬼動作不得；達家 ，乃是兩人也。伯著火炙之，腹背俱焦坼，出著庭中，夜皆亡去。伯恨不 得殺之，後月餘，又佯酒醉，夜行，懷刃以去，家不知也，極夜不還，其 孫恐又為此鬼所困，乃俱往迎伯，伯竟刺殺之。

隴西辛道度者，遊學至雍州城四五里，比見一大宅，有青衣女子在門。度 詣門下求飧。女子入告秦女，女命召入。度趨入閣中，秦女於西榻而坐。 度稱姓名，敘起居，既畢，命東榻而坐。即治飲饌。食訖，女謂度曰：「 我秦閔王女，出聘曹國，不幸無夫而亡。亡來已二十三年，獨居此宅，今 日君來，願為夫婦，經三宿。」三日後，女即自言曰：「君是生人，我鬼 也，共君宿契，此會可三宵，不可久居，當有禍矣。然茲信宿，未悉綢繆 ，既已分飛，將何表信於郎？」即命取床後盒子開之，取金枕一枚，與度 為信。乃分袂泣別，即遣青衣送出門外。未逾數步，不見舍宇，惟有一冢 。度當時荒忙出走，視其金枕在懷，乃無異變。尋至秦國，以枕於市貨之 ，恰遇秦妃東遊，親見度賣金枕，疑而索看。詰度何處得來？度具以告。 妃聞，悲泣不能自勝，然向疑耳，乃遣人發冢啟柩視之，原葬悉在，唯不 見枕。解體看之，交情宛若。秦妃始信之。歎曰：「我女大聖，死經二十 三年，猶能與生人交往。此是我真女婿也。」遂封度為駙馬都尉，賜金帛 車馬，令還本國。因此以來，後人名女婿為「駙馬；」今之國婿！亦為「 駙馬」矣。

漢，談生者，年四十，無婦，常感激讀詩經，夜半，有女子，年可十五六 ，姿顏服飾，天下無雙，來就生為夫婦之言，曰：「我與人不同，勿以火 照我也，三年之後，方可照耳。」與為夫婦，生一兒，已二歲，不能忍， 夜，伺其寢後，盜照視之。其腰已上生肉，如人，腰已下，但有枯骨。婦 覺，遂言曰：「君負我。我垂生矣，何不能忍一歲，而竟相照也？」生辭 謝涕泣，不可復止。云：「與君雖大義永離；然顧念我兒若貧不能自偕活 者，暫隨我去，方遺君物。」生隨之去，入華堂，室宇器物不凡。以一珠 袍與之，曰：「可以自給。」裂取生衣裾留之而去。後生持袍詣市，睢陽 王家買之，得錢千萬。王識之曰：「是我女袍，那得在市？此必發冢。」 乃取拷之。生具以實對。王猶不信，乃視女冢，冢完如故，發視之，棺蓋 下果得衣裾，呼其兒視，正類王女王乃信之，即召談生，復賜遺之，以為 女婿。表其兒為郎中。

盧充者，范陽人，家西三十里，有崔少府墓，充年二十，先冬至一日，出 宅西獵戲，見一獐，舉弓而射，中之，獐倒，復起。充因逐之，不覺遠， 忽見道北一里許，高門瓦屋，四周有如府舍，不復見獐。門中一鈴下唱客 前。充曰：「此何府也？」答曰：「少府府也，」充曰：「我衣惡，那得 見少府？」即有一人提一襆新衣，曰：「府君以此遺郎。」充便著訖，進 見少府。展姓名。酒炙數行。謂充曰：「尊府君不以僕門鄙陋，近得書， 為君索小女婚，故相迎耳。」便以書示充。充，父亡時雖小，然已識父手 跡，即欷歔無復辭免。便敕內：盧郎已來，可令女郎裗Y。」且語充云： 「君可就東廊，及至黃昏。」內白：「女郎裗Y已畢。」充既至東廊，女 已下車，立席頭，卻共拜。時為三日，給食三日畢，崔謂充曰：「君可歸 矣。女有娠相，若生男，當以相還，無相疑。生女，當留自養。」敕外嚴 車送客。充便辭出。崔送至中門，執手涕零。出門，見一犢車，駕青衣， 又見本所著衣及弓箭，故在門外。尋傳教將一人提襆衣與充，相問曰：「 姻援始爾，別甚悵恨。今復致衣一襲，被褥自副。」充上車，去如電逝， 須臾至家。家人相見，悲喜推問，知崔是亡人，而入其墓。追以懊惋。別 後四年，三月三日，充臨水戲，忽見水旁有二犢車，乍沈乍浮，既而近岸 ，同坐皆見，而充往開車後戶，見崔氏女與三歲男共載。充見之，忻然欲 捉其手，女舉手指後車曰：「府君見人。」即見少府。充往問訊，女抱兒 還。充又與金鋺，并贈詩曰：「煌煌靈芝質，光麗何猗猗！華豔當時顯， 嘉異表神奇。含英未及秀，中夏罹霜萎。榮耀長幽滅，世路永無施。不悟 陰陽運，哲人忽來儀。會淺離別速，皆由靈與祗。何以贈余親，金鋺可頤 兒。恩愛從此別，斷腸傷肝脾。」充取兒，鋺及詩，忽然不見二車處。充 將兒還，四坐謂是鬼魅，僉遙唾之。形如故。問兒：「誰是汝父？」兒徑 就充懷。眾初怪惡，傳省其詩，慨然歎死生之玄通也。充後乘車入市，賣 鋺，高舉其價，不欲速售，冀有識。欻有一老婢識此，還白大家曰：「市 中見一人，乘車，賣崔氏女郎棺中鋺。」大家，即崔氏親姨母也，遣兒視 之，果如其婢言。上車，敘姓名，語充曰：「昔我姨嫁少府，生女，未出 而亡。家親痛之，贈一金鋺，著棺中。可說得鋺本末。」充以事對。此兒 亦為之悲咽。賚還白母，母即令詣充家，迎兒視之。諸親悉集。兒有崔氏 之狀，又復似充貌。兒、鋺俱驗。姨母曰：『我外甥三月末間產。父曰春 ，煖溫也。願休強也。」即字溫休。溫休者，蓋幽婚也，其兆先彰矣。兒 遂成令器。曆郡守二千石，子孫冠蓋相承。至今其後植，字子幹，有名天 下。

後漢時，汝南汝陽西門亭，有鬼魅，賓客止宿，輒有死亡。其厲，厭者皆 亡髮，失精。尋問其故，云：「先時頗已有怪物。其後，郡侍奉掾宜祿鄭 奇來，去亭六七里，有一端正婦人乞寄載，奇初難之，然後上車，入亭， 趨至樓下。亭卒白：「樓不可上。」奇云：「吾不恐也。」時亦昏冥，遂 上樓，與婦人棲宿。未明，發去。亭卒上樓掃除，見一死婦，大驚，走白 亭長。亭長擊鼓，會諸廬吏，共集診之。乃亭西北八里吳氏婦，新亡，夜 臨殯，火滅，及火至，失之。其家即持去。奇發，行數里，腹痛，到南頓 利陽亭，加劇，物故。樓遂無敢復上。

潁川鍾繇，字元常，嘗數月不朝會，意性異常。或問其故。云：「常有好 婦來，美麗非凡。」問者曰：「必是鬼物，可殺之。」婦人後往，不即前 ，止戶外。繇問；「何以？」曰：「公有相殺意。」繇曰：「無此。」勤 勤呼之，乃入。繇意恨，有不忍之，然猶之。傷髀。婦人即出，以新綿拭 血，竟路。明日，使人尋跡之，至一大冢，木中有好婦人，形體如生人， 著白練衫，丹繡裲襠，傷左髀，以裲襠中綿拭血。

戶上也。」爾夕，其妻夢季曰：「吾行遇盜，死，已二年。若不信吾言，

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
