《史记·七十列传·屈原贾生列传》
到半夜时分，文帝已听得很入神，不知不觉地在座席上总往贾谊身边移动。听完之后，文帝慨叹道： 我好长时间没见贾谊了，自认为能超过他，现在看来还是不如他。 
至夜半，文帝前席。既罢，曰： 吾久不见贾生，自以为过之，今不及也。 
By the middle of the night, Emperor Wen was engrossed in the stories, and without knowing it, he had moved closer to Jia Yi on his seat. After listening to the end, Emperor Wen sighed and said, "It has been a long time since I have seen Jia Yi. I thought I had surpassed him in understanding, but now I can see that I am still no match for him."
