《陈书·列传·卷二十一》
后主曾单独召见，看到姚察骨瘦如柴，不禁伤感，就对姚察说： 朝廷爱惜你，你也应该顾惜自己，已吃素多年，可以停了长斋吧。 
后主尝别召见，见察柴瘠过甚，为之动容，乃谓察曰： 朝廷惜卿，卿宜自惜，即蔬菲岁久，可停持长斋。 
The emperor once summoned Yao Cha to a private audience. Seeing how emaciated Yao Cha had become, he could not help but feel sad. He said to Yao Cha, “The court cherishes you, and you should cherish yourself as well. You have already eaten a vegetarian diet for many years; it is time to end your long fast.”
