《北齐书·列传·卷四十五》
像孔子被困在陈、蔡，孟轲被困在齐、梁，是因为他们生不逢时，岂能认为与性命之说有关。
若夫仲尼厄于陈、蔡，孟轲困于齐、梁，自是不遇其时，宁关性命之理。
Such as Confucius being trapped in Chen and Cai, and Meng Ke being trapped in Qi and Liang, was because they were born at the wrong time, how can we say that it has something to do with the theory of life and death.
