《资治通鉴·秦纪·秦纪一》
孔斌却说： 你一定要按照崐礼制推辞掉韩王的悼念活动！礼制规定： 邻国国君前往某国吊丧，这吊丧活动应由某国的国君来主持。 
子顺曰： 必辞之以礼。 邻国君吊，君为之主。 
Kong Bin said: “You must decline King Han’s condolences according to ritual. Ritual dictates that when a feudal lord travels to another state to offer condolences, that state’s feudal lord is the one who should manage the event.”
