《汉书·传·景十三王传》
现在群臣没有葭莩这样的亲近，鸿毛这样的重量，他们在一起进行非议，使宗室被抛弃，骨肉消散。
今群臣非有葭莩之亲，鸿毛之重，群居党议，朋友相为，使夫宗室摈却，骨肉冰释。
Now the Officers of State have not the intimacy of grass and reeds and the lightness of a goosefeather, but they gather together and discuss matters, causing the 宗室 to be cast out and the骨肉 to be scattered.
