《世说新语·排调》
谢幼舆对武城侯周说： 你像社坛上的树，远远望去，高耸云霄；走近去看，它的根部却是群狐聚居的地方，下面堆积看污秽的东西罢了。 
谢幼舆谓周侯曰： 卿类社树，远望之，峨峨拂青天；就而视之，其根则群狐所托，下聚溷而已！ 
Xie Youyu said to Zhou, the Marquis of Wucheng: You are like a tree on the altar, looking far away, towering into the clouds; when you look closer, its roots are where the foxes live, and there are only dirty things piled up below.
