楚使使聘於齊,齊王饗之梧宮。
Chu once sent an emissary on a mission of greeting to Qi, and the Qi king had a banquet spread for him in Paulownia Tree Palace.
使者曰:「大哉梧乎!
“The paulownia trees are huge!” observed the emissary.
The fish of the Jiang and the Han59 are large enough to gulp down boats,” replied the king.
」王曰:「江海之魚吞舟,大國之樹必巨,使何怪焉?」
The trees in your great state are without doubt enormous.
Why do you wonder at the size of these?
