《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪十一》
不久之后，汉武帝将归降的浑邪王部属分别迁徙到沿边五郡的旧要塞之外，全部在黄河以南，保持他们原有的风俗习惯，设立五个 属国 。
居顷之，乃分徙降者边五郡故塞外，而皆在河南，因其故俗为五属国。
Soon afterwards, Emperor Wu of Han moved the surrendered Hunxie tribesmen to the old fortresses outside the five border counties, all south of the Yellow River, keeping their original customs and establishing five "subject countries."
