《梁书·列传·卷十四》
我本是住在用蓬草编门桑树做户枢的简陋房屋裹，身穿麻布衣服，腰系韦皮带的无官之人。退居时不用《诗》《书》装饰自己来惊骇愚人，进用时也不向天下人收买名声。
下官本蓬户桑枢之民，布衣韦带之士，退不饰《诗书》以惊愚，进不买名声于天下。
I originally lived in a simple house with a reed door and a mulberry tree as the door pivot, wore hemp clothes, and tied my waist with a sheepskin belt. When I retired, I did not use the 《Book of Songs》 and 《Book of Documents》 to decorate myself to scare fools, and when I was put to use, I did not buy fame from the world.
