“This letter was feigned to be written by Ahoshta and this was the signification of the writing： ‘Ahoshta Tarkaan to Kidrash Tarkaan， salutation and peace. In the name of Tash the irresistible， the inexorable. Be it known to you that as I made my journey towards your house to perform the contract of marriage between me and your daughter Aravis Tarkheena， it pleased fortune and the gods that I fell in with her in the forest when she had ended the rites and sacrifices of Zardeenah according to the custom of maidens. And when I learned who she was， being delighted with her beauty and discretion， I became inflamed with love and it appeared to me that the sun would be dark to me if I did not marry her at once. Accordingly I prepared the necessary sacrifices and married your daughter the same hour that I met her and have returned with her to my own house. And we both pray and charge you to come hither as speedily as you may that we may be delighted with your face and speech； and also that you may bring with you the dowry of my wife， which， by reason of my great charges and expenses， I require without delay. And because thou and I are brothers I assure myself that you will not be angered by the haste of my marriage which is wholly occasioned by the great love I bear your daughter. And I commit you to the care of all the gods.’

百花小说：你是我的影子
百花文学的源头当有二：“一是汉初司马迁的《史记》中的游侠、刺客列传；二是魏晋、六朝间盛行的‘杂记体’神异、志怪小说。”如果说先秦两汉乃至魏晋志怪，为武侠小说的产生构筑了坚实的基础，为之前奏；那么唐传奇在文学史上一领风骚时，武侠小说即真正开始萌芽。
