《论衡·卷十三·超奇篇》
所以说：陈平分割祭肉，是当丞相的苗头；孙叔敖疏通期思河，是当令尹迹象的显现。
故曰：陈平割肉，丞相之端见；叔孙敖决期思，令之兆著。
Therefore, it is said that Chen Ping's division of the sacrificial meat was the beginning of his becoming a chancellor, and Sun Shu'ao's dredging of the Qisi River was the manifestation of his becoming the chief minister.
