《旧五代史·后唐·列传十》
光化年中，王道衰退，南北司结党，赵光逢一贯谨慎宁静，担心灾祸殃及自己，因而辞官到伊洛隐居，断绝交往，有五六年之久。
光化中，王道浸衰，南北司为党，光逢素惟慎静，虑祸及己，因挂冠伊洛，屏绝交游，凡五六年。
During the Guang Hua period, the imperial authority declined, and the factions of the Northern and Southern Bureaus were formed. Zhao Guangfeng was always cautious and unassuming, and fearing that he would become embroiled in trouble, he resigned from his post and went into seclusion at Luoyang, breaking off all contact with the outside world. He remained in seclusion for five or six years.
