《魏书·列传·卷三十五》
卢昶回到朝廷，高祖斥责他说： 遵奉朝命之礼，宁死不辱，即使流放到天涯海角，仍然应当守节至死。
昶还，高祖责之曰： 衔命之礼，有死无辱，虽流放海隅，犹宜抱节致殒。
Lu Chang returned to the court, and Gaozu rebuked him, saying: "Respecting the etiquette of the imperial edict, one would rather die than be humiliated. Even if one is exiled to the ends of the earth, one should still stick to the節 to death."
