《资治通鉴·齐纪·齐纪七》
当时，高帝、武帝的子孙还有十个藩主，他们每月初一和十五都入朝拜见明帝，明帝见过他们回宫之后，常常叹息着说： 我和弟弟司徒的几个儿子都年龄幼小，而高帝和武帝的子孙却一天天地长大了。 
时高、武子孙犹有十王，每朔望入朝，上还后宫辄叹息曰： 我及司徒诸子皆不长，高、武子孙日益长大！ 
At that time, the descendants of Emperors Gao and Wu included ten feudal lords, who had to visit Emperor Ming in the court on the 1st and 15th of each month. After meeting them and returning to his palace, Emperor Ming often sighed, saying: My brother Situ and I have sons who are all very young, while the descendants of Emperors Gao and Wu are growing up day by day.
