1 楊真:
鄴中居人楊真者家富。平生癖好畫虎。家由甚多畫畫字原闕。據明鈔本補。虎。每坐臥,必欲見之。後至老年,盡令家人毀去所畫之虎。至年九十忽臥疾,召兒孫謂之曰:「我平生不合癖好畫虎,我好之時,見畫虎則喜,不見則不樂。我每夢中多與群虎游。我不欲言於兒孫輩。至晚年尤甚。至於縱步遊賞之處,往往見虎。及問同遊人。又不見,我方恐懼。尋乃盡毀去所畫之虎。今臥疾後,又夢化身為虎兒。又夢覺既久,而方復人身。我死之後,恐必化為虎,兒孫輩遇虎,慎勿殺之。」其夕卒,家方謀葬,其尸忽化為虎,跳躍而出。其一子逐出觀之,其虎回趕其子,食之而去。數日,忽家人夜夢真歸謂家人曰:「我已為虎,甚是安健。但離家時,便得一人食之,至今猶不饑。」至曙,家之人疑不識其子而食之。述於隣里。有識者曰:「今為人,即識人之父子。既化虎,又何記為人之父也。夫人與獸,豈不殊耶。若為虎尚記前生之事,人奚必記前生之事也。人尚不記前生,足知獸不靈於人也。」出《瀟湘記》
