《资治通鉴·梁纪·梁纪十三》
那个时代，大小官员都竞相谈论玄理，不愿意学习练兵打仗方面的东西，所以陶弘景写诗用魏晋时期的事情来影射梁朝。
时士大夫竞谈玄理，不习武事，故弘景诗及之。
At that time, high and low level officials vied to talk about metaphysics and were unwilling to learn about military training and warfare. Therefore, Tao Hongjing used events from the Wei and Jin period in his poem to allude to the Liang Dynasty.
