《三国志·魏书·辛毗杨阜高堂隆传》
考察夏商周三代之所以拥有天下，都是圣贤之人相互传承，经过几百年的时间，天下没有那一寸土地不属于他们，没有哪一个百姓不臣服，天下各国都安定无事，九州同意；鹿台的金银和巨桥的粮食，无处可用，但依然能坐拥天下，还要做些什么呢！
寻观三代之有天下也，圣贤相承，历载数百，尺土莫非其有，一民莫非其臣，万国咸宁，九有有截；鹿台之金，巨桥之粟，无所用之，仍旧南面，夫何为哉！
Examine the reasons why the three generations of Xia, Shang and Zhou owned the world. They are all saints and sages who passed on from generation to generation. After hundreds of years, there is not a single inch of land that does not belong to them, and there is no people who do not submit. All countries in the world are stable and peaceful, and Jiuzhou agrees; the gold and silver of Lutai and the grain of Juqiao are nowhere to be used, but they can still own the world. What else do you need to do!
