《魏书·列传·卷三十八》
所以以德推崇三老，以善敬立五更，使三老如父得以昭彰，五更如兄得以显露。
故推老以德，立更以元，父焉斯彰，兄焉斯显矣。
Therefore, they used virtue to promote the three old men and kindness to respect the five ministers, so that the three old men could be famous like their fathers and the five ministers could be revealed like their elder brothers.
