《宋书·志·卷十四》
儒学之风距此已很遥远。飒》、《雅》之道愈来愈衰弱，年轻人放任自流，不再关注礼乐制度与经典图籍。在位执政者，专心于目前的政务，无暇关注典章。
洙、泗邈远，《风》、《雅》弥替，后生放任，不复宪章典谟；临官宰政者，务目前之治，不能闲以典诰。
Confucianism had long been on the decline by this time. The traditions of "hymns and odes" were becoming weaker and weaker, and the younger generation indulged themselves and paid no attention to the systems of propriety and music or to the classic texts. Those in power focused on their current political duties and had no time to pay attention to classical learning.
