《史记·七十列传·张仪列传》
主张合纵的人游说大王，必定会说： 齐国西面有强大的赵国，南面有韩国和魏国，齐国是背靠大海的国家，土地广阔，人口众多，军队强大，士兵勇敢，即使有一百个秦国，对齐国也将无可奈何。 
从人说大王者，必曰 齐西有彊赵，南有韩与梁。齐，负海之国也，地广民众，兵彊士勇，虽有百秦，将无柰齐何 。
The advocates of Hezong will persuade you, my king, and will surely say: "Qi borders Zhao in the west, South Korea and Wei in the south, Qi is a country backed by the sea, with vast territory, large population, strong army and brave soldiers. Even if there are a hundred Qin, they will be helpless against Qi."
