无形:

曰：冶者变更成器，须先以火燔烁，乃可大小短长。人冀延年，欲比于铜器，宜有若炉炭之化，乃易形；形易，寿亦可增。人何由变易其形，便如火烁铜器乎？《礼》曰：“水潦降，不献鱼鳖。”何则？雨水暴下，虫虵变化，化为鱼鳖。离本真暂变之虫，臣子谨慎，故不敢献。人愿身之变，冀若虫虵之化乎？夫虫虵未化者，不若不化者。虫虵未化，人不食也；化为鱼鳖，人则食之。食则寿命乃短，非所冀也。岁月推移，气变物类，虾蟆为鹑，雀为蜄蛤。人愿身之变，冀若鹑与蜄蛤鱼鳖之类也？人设捕蜄蛤，得者食之。虽身之不化，寿命不得长，非所冀也。鲁公牛哀寝疾，七日变而成虎；鲧殛羽山，化为黄能，愿身变者，冀牛哀之为虎，鲧之为能乎？则夫虎能之寿，不能过人，天地之性，人最为贵，变人之形，更为禽兽，非所冀也。凡可冀者，以老翁变为婴儿，其次，白发复黑，齿落复生，身气丁强，超乘不衰，乃可贵也。徒变其形，寿命不延，其何益哉？
