A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Chao Shih-hsiung

by Herbert A. Giles

183 Chao Shih-hsiung 趙師雄. 6th cent. A.D. A native of 雎陽 Chu-yang, who stopped one evening at a wine-shop on the 羅浮 Lo-fou mountains near Canton. There he was entertained by a young lady who appeared to be the hostess, and spent the evening drinking wine with her. Next morning, however, he found himself lying under a plum-tree, stiff with cold, while a pretty blue bird was singing merrily over his head.
