《淮南子·齐俗训》
秦始皇时代，有人宰食自己的儿女，这是因为物财不足；当今刘家执政，独身男子也能收养孤儿，这是因为财物富裕。
秦王之时，或人葅子，利不足也。刘氏持政，独夫收孤，财有余也。
During the Qin Dynasty era, some people butchered and ate their own children because of a shortage of goods; today, when Liu Jia is in power, even single men can adopt orphans, because goods are plentiful.
