《资治通鉴·晋纪·晋纪二十七》
逃跑的人听到刮风的声音和鹤的鸣叫声，都以为是东晋的军队将要来到，昼夜不敢停歇，慌不择路，风餐露宿，冻饿交加，死亡的人十有七八。
其走者闻风声鹤唳，皆以为晋兵且至，昼夜不敢息，草行露宿，重以饥冻，死者什七、八。
Those who escaped, upon hearing the sound of wind and the cries of cranes, thought that the Eastern Jin army was about to arrive. They dared not stop day or night, they fled in panic and disorder, and they suffered from hunger, cold, and exhaustion, killing ten out of eight of them.
