《北齐书·列传·卷四十五》
聆听远古的消息，贯通百世，制礼作乐，扬实传声，如果言辞没有文采，怎么能够流传久远。
逖听三古，弥纶百代，制礼作乐，腾实飞声，若或言之不文，岂能行之远也。
If we listen to history to gain insight into the ancient world and achieve enlightenment through time, institute rituals and write music to spread goodness, and pass down our words and deeds, how can our ideas not be passed down through generations if our words are not imbued with literature?
