《管子·宙合》
所以，微子并没有替纣王死难，而是受封于宋国，充当殷遗民的首领。这样，祖先不被湮灭，后世也不断绝。所以说：大贤人的德泽是长远的。
故微子不与于纣之难，而封于宋，以为殷主，先祖不灭，后世不绝，故曰大贤之德长。
Therefore, Weizi did not die for King Zhou, but was enfeoffed in the State of Song, acting as the leader of the remnants of Shang Dynasty. Thus, the ancestors were not annihilated, and future generations were not cut off. Therefore, it is said: the virtue of a great wise man is far-reaching.
