至乃《河》、《洛》之文，龜龍之圖，箕子之術，師曠之書，緯候之部，鈐決之符，皆所以探抽冥賾、參驗人區，時有可聞者焉。 Then there are the River and Luo documents, the tortoise-and-dragon diagrams, Jizi's methods, Shi Kuang's writings, apocryphal weft-books, and talismanic slips—all tools to sound the hidden depths and test them against the human world, and occasionally something credible surfaces.
