《尚书·商书·仲虺之诰》
从前葛国国君，恩将仇报，杀掉我们前往葛国救灾的人，我们的征伐从葛国开始。大王东征时西方的人们就怨恨我们；南征时北方的人就埋怨我们。
乃葛伯仇饷，初征自葛，东征，西夷怨；南征，北狄怨，曰： 奚独后予？ 
Long ago, the ruler of Ge repaid our kindness with ingratitude, murdering those we sent to relieve his people, and so it was that our punitive expeditions began. When our King goes on campaign to the east, the people of the west resent it; when he goes to the south, the people of the north complain.
