《宋书·志·卷三十》
虽然以智从德会获得来自上天的福气，违道害神会受到上天的惩罚，但是没有详细列举各种征兆和应验，没有全面考察善恶的报应，虽然时时出现雉鸡登上鼎耳呜叫、在庭中长出嘉谷之类的怪异，但是没有记载的还很多。
虽可以知从德获自天之祐，违道陷神听之罪，然未详举征效，备考幽明，虽时列鼎雉庭谷之异，然而未究者众矣。
Although the rewards from heaven can be obtained by following wisdom and virtue, and the punishments from heaven can be received by violating the Way and harming the gods, there is no detailed enumeration of the various signs and fulfillment, and there is no comprehensive examination of the retribution for good and evil. Although strange things such as pheasants crowing on the ears of a tripod and good grains growing in the court appear from time to time, there are many that are not recorded.
