另一天皇帝又问道 ：司马迁说汉文帝爱惜十户人家的财产而不筑灵台，穿黑色粗丝的衣服，穿皮制的鞋，把装奏章的袋子积累起来做成宫殿的帷幕，是真的吗？
他日又问： 司马迁言汉文帝惜十家产而罢露台，身衣弋绨，履革舄，集上书囊为殿帷，信乎？
 Another day, the emperor asked: "Sima Qian said that Emperor Wen of Han cherished the property of ten households and did not build a mausoleum, wore black coarse silk clothes and leather shoes, and accumulated the bags containing memorials to make the palace's curtains. Is this true?"
