第 2 句因包含“娲皇”，据此推断可能引用了典故：娲皇
波斯短歌行译笺 其三十八 当代 · 钟锦
七言绝句 押真韵
传言黄土造为人，时有娲皇圣且神。
抟者成尊縆者贱，一般代代是浮尘。
注：○传言三句：《风俗通》：“俗说天地初开辟，未有人民，女娲抟黄土为人，剧务力不暇供，乃引绳絙泥中，举以为人。故富贵贤知者，黄土人也；贫贱凡庸者，引絙人也。”○译文意殊合，但增女娲事耳。
And has not such a Story from of Old
Down Man's successive generations roll'd
Of such a clod of saturated Earth
Cast by the Maker into Human mould?
And has not such a Story from of Old
