《三国志·吴书·王楼贺韦华传》
百姓遭受穿梭般的困扰，民众疲惫无止境的索求，老小饥寒交迫，家家面现菜色，而地方官吏，迫于畏惧担负罪责，便施以严法酷刑，折磨百姓求得供应。
百姓罹杼轴之困，黎民罢无已之求，老幼饥寒，家户莱色，而所在长吏，迫畏罪负，严法峻刑，苦民求办。
The common people suffer from the constant harassment, the masses are exhausted by the endless demands, the old and the young are freezing and starving, every household looks sallow, and local officials, pressured by the fear of bearing guilt, resort to cruel and severe punishments in order to obtain supplies from the people.
