《魏书·帝纪·卷一》
施政的方针、策略既要顾全大局，又要兼顾细微末节，方能契合神灵之心。魏国占据北方，拓跋氏世居君长之位，普及教化，养育万民，与时无争。
有魏奄迹幽方，世居君长，淳化育民，与时无竞。
The policy and strategy of governance should take into account both the big picture and the details, in order to conform to the heart of the gods. Wei occupies the north, and the Tuoba clan has always held the position of monarch,普及教化，养育万民, and is content with the present.
