《文心雕龙·情采》
但是后代的作家，大都爱好虚华而轻视真实，抛弃古代的《诗经》，而向辞赋学习。于是，抒写情志的作品日渐稀少，仅仅追求文采的作品越来越多。
而后之作者，采滥忽真，远弃风雅，近师辞赋，故体情之制日疏，逐文之篇愈盛。
However, later generations of writers mostly loved vanity and looked down upon the truth, abandoning the ancient "Book of Songs" and learning from Ci and Fu. As a result, works expressing emotions and aspirations gradually became scarce and works merely pursuing literary talent became more and more numerous.
