《汉书·传·叙传下》
文章艳丽而少实用，子虚乌有之赋，寓言文辞华丽，全篇寄托着对天子诸侯的讽谏，文章见多识广，博览万物，文采颇为可观，辞藻之富丽可为一代宗师，诗赋颂歌也堪称一世之首。
文艳用寡，子虚乌有，寓言淫丽，托风终始，见识博物，有可观采，蔚为辞宗，赋颂之首。
The article is gorgeous but less practical. The works of Zi Xuwu and Wu You made up stories. The allegory used gorgeous words. The whole article was addressed to the emperor and princes. The article had broad knowledge and erudition. The writing was exquisite. The richness of the words could be the master of a generation, and the poems, odes and songs could also be the first in the world.
