《左传·哀公·哀公元年》
现在听说夫差住宿有楼台池沼，睡觉有嫔妃宫女，即使是一天在外头，想要的东西一定要到手，玩赏爱好的东西，一定要随身带走；积聚珍奇，享乐为务；把百姓看得如同仇人，没完没了驱使他们。
今闻夫差次有台榭陂池焉，宿有妃嫱嫔御焉。一日之行，所欲必成，玩好必从。珍异是聚，观乐是务，视民如讎，而用之日新。
We now hear that Fucha has a house with a tower and a pond, sleeps with concubines and maids, and must have whatever he wants even when he is out for a day, and must take with him whatever he loves; he hoards valuables, indulges in pleasure; and sees the people as his enemies, driving them endlessly.
