《史记·七十列传·儒林列传》
到高祖皇帝杀死项籍，率兵包围了鲁国，鲁国中的儒生们仍在讲诵经书演习礼乐，弦歌之声不绝于耳，这难道不是古代圣人遗留的风范，难道不是一个深爱礼乐的国家吗？
及高皇帝诛项籍，举兵围鲁，鲁中诸儒尚讲诵习礼乐，弦歌之音不绝，岂非圣人之遗化，好礼乐之国哉？
When Emperor Gaozu killed Xiang Ji and besieged Lu, the Confucian scholars in Lu were still reciting scriptures and practicing rituals, and the sound of string songs was endless. Isn't this the legacy of the ancient sages? Is it not a country that loves etiquette and music?
