《齐谐》者，志怪者也。《谐》之言曰：“鹏之徙于南冥也，水击三千里，抟扶摇而上者九万里，去以六月息者也。”野马也，尘埃也，生物之以息相吹也。天之苍苍，其正色邪？其远而无所至极邪？其视下也，亦若是则已矣。
《 Qíxié 》zhě ，zhì guài zhě yě 。《 xié 》zhī yán yuē ：“péng zhī xǐ yú Nánmíng yě ，shuǐ jī sānqiān lǐ ，tuán fúyáo ér shàng zhě jiǔ wàn lǐ ，qù yǐ liùyuè xí zhě yě 。”yěmǎ yě ，chénāi yě ，shēngwù zhī yǐ xí xiāng chuī yě 。tiān zhī cāngcāng ，qí zhèng sè yé ？qí yuǎn ér wúsuǒ zhì jí yé ？qí shì xià yě ，yì ruòshì zé yǐyǐ 。
There is the (book called) Qi Xie, a record of marvels. We have in it these words: ‘When the phang is removing to the Southern Ocean it flaps (its wings) on the water for 3000 li. Then it ascends on a whirlwind 90,000 li, and it rests only at the end of six months.’ (But similar to this is the movement of the breezes which we call) the horses of the fields, of the dust (which quivers in the sunbeams), and of living things as they are blown against one another by the air. Is its azure the proper colour of the sky? Or is it occasioned by its distance and illimitable extent? If one were looking down (from above), the very same appearance would just meet his view.
