《吕氏春秋·论·贵直论》
过了几年，越人报复吴国，攻破了吴国的国都，灭绝了吴国的世系，毁灭了吴国的社稷，夷平了吴国的宗庙，夫差本人也被活捉。
居数年，越报吴，残其国，绝其世，灭其社稷，夷其宗庙，夫差身为禽。
Several years passed, and the Yue people took revenge on the Wu kingdom, capturing the capital, wiping out the Wu line, destroying the Wu temples and altars, and razing the Wu ancestral temple to the ground. Fu Chai himself was captured alive.
