    The Taiping Guangzi compilation of the Song Dynasty contained this account of two men, Pan Zhang and

    Wang Zhongxian of the ancient Zhou dynasty: Pan Zhang in his youth was beautiful in face and demeanor, and admired by his contemporaries. Wang Zhongxian of the Chu Kingdom heard of his fame and came to seek his friendship. Zhang accepted him. They desired to study together, and fell in love at first sight. Their affection was as husband and wife; they shared the same blanket and pillow and bonded as one. Later they died together. The people of their household grieved for them and buried them together at Luofu Mountain. A tree suddenly grew out of the grave; all of its branches and leaves embraced one another. The people at that time were amazed, and named it the "Shared Pillow Tree"
