《宋史·列传·卷三十八》
在自己身上到处纹 赤心杀贼 字，甚至于他的妻子、儿子、仆人都在身上纹了这几个字。他的几个儿子耳朵后面另外刺字曰 ：出门忘家为国，临阵忘死为主。 他创制兵器破阵刀、降魔杵，铁折上巾，两边有锋利的刀刃，兵器都重达十几斤，他头戴深红色的纺织品，骑着杂毛色的马，身上的穿戴奇异。
遍文其体为 赤心杀贼 字，至于妻孥仆使皆然，诸子耳后别刺字曰： 出门忘家为国，临阵忘死为主。 及作破阵刀、降魔杵，铁折上巾，两旁有刃，皆重十数斤。绛帕首，乘骓马，服饰诡异。
He had tattoos of "loyal heart, kill the enemies" all over his body, even his wife, son and servants had these words. His sons had other words tattooed behind the ear: "forget home to defend the country, forget death to fight for the government". He invented the broken-battle knife, demon-suppressing pestle and iron-folded turban, with sharp blades on both sides, and each weapon weighted dozens of kilograms. He wore dark red cloth on his head and rode a horse with mixed-colored hair. His dress was weird.
