| | 祝雞翁: |
祝雞翁者,洛人也。居屍鄉北山下,養雞百餘年。雞有千餘頭,皆立名字。暮棲樹上,晝放散之。欲引呼名,即依呼而至。賣雞及子,得千餘萬,輒置錢去。之吳,作養魚池。後升吳山,白鶴孔雀數百,常止其傍云。 |
| | Zhu Jiweng was a native of Luo. He lived at the foot of Beishan in Shixiang, raising more than one hundred chickens for many years. The chickens numbered over a thousand, each with its own name. At dusk they roosted in the trees and during the day were let out to roam freely. If one wished to summon them, calling by name would cause them to come immediately. Selling chickens and their eggs earned him tens of thousands; he would then put the money aside and leave. He went to Wu and built a fish pond for raising fish. Later, when he ascended Wushan, hundreds of white cranes and peacocks often stayed near him, it is said.

人禽雖殊,道固相關。祝翁傍通,牧雞寄驩。育鱗道洽,棲雞樹端。物之致化,施而不刊。 |
| | Though humans and animals are different, the Dao is inherently connected. Zhu Weng Bangtong raised chickens to bring joy. Raising fish and practicing the Dao, he allowed his chickens to roost at the tops of trees. The transformation of things through cultivation is a practice that cannot be altered.
