《汉书·传·武五子传》
秦始皇在位三十九年，对内削平六国，对外打败四方蛮夷，死的人多如乱麻，尸骨暴露在长城之下，头颅接连不断沿途可见，没有一天不打仗。
秦始皇即位三十九年，内平六国，外攘四夷，死人如乱麻，暴骨长城之下，头卢相属于道，不一日而无兵。
Qin Shi Huang reigned for 39 years. At home, he crushed the Six States, and abroad, he defeated the barbarians in all directions. Countless people died, with their bones exposed under the Great Wall. The road was lined with their skulls. Not a day went by without a battle.
