《国语·吴语·勾践灭吴夫差自杀》
往日我曾卜问上天，现在吴国的民众已经疲乏，而且连年饥荒，市场上连糙米也没有，粮仓都空了。他们的民众一定得迁移到东海边靠拣蛤蚌求生。
日臣尝卜于天，今吴民既罢，而大荒荐饥，市无赤米，而囷鹿空虚，其民必移就蒲蠃于东海之滨。
In the past, I asked the heavens for divination. Now that the people of Wu are already exhausted, and there has been famine for consecutive years, there is not even brown rice in the market, and the granaries are all empty. Their people will definitely have to move to the East China Sea to survive by picking clams and mussels.
