《魏书·列传·卷五十八》
秦人凭借险阻，大多粗鲁暴烈，或拒绝赋役，或加害令长县吏，自此以前各任守宰，大都在州遥领，从不入州中郡县。
秦人恃嶮，率多粗暴，或拒课输，或害长吏，自前守宰，率皆依州遥领，不入郡县。
The Qin people used the mountains and passes for protection, were for the most part rude and violent, and either refused to pay taxes or attacked the district magistrates and county officials. Prior to this, the people who had held these posts had all largely been appointed in name to the prefecture, and never entered the prefecture's counties.
