《旧唐书·列传·卷十五》
只因北齐仅仅占有河北，南梁、南陈占有边远的江南，当时虽然出现过有影响的人物，但都是偏僻小国，不值得尊重，至今还把崔、卢、王、谢四姓看得很高贵。
祗缘齐家惟据河北，梁、陈僻在江南，当时虽有人物，偏僻小国，不足可贵，至今犹以崔、卢、王、谢为重。
It is only because Northern Qi only occupied Hebei, and Southern Liang and Southern Chen occupied the remote Jiangnan. Although there were influential figures at the time, they were all small and remote countries, not worth respecting, and they still regard the Cui, Lu, Wang, and Xie clans highly.
