《晋书·列传·第十七章》
秦州刺史胡烈一向对西方有恩，现在胡烈前往，各种胡人虽然已没有作乱，必将消除，但兽心难保不发，不一定能长治久安。
秦州刺史胡烈素有恩信于西方，今烈往，诸胡虽已无恶，必且消弭，然兽心难保，不必其可久安也。
Hu Lie, the governor of Qinzhou, has always been kind to the Western Region; now that Hu Lie has gone there, although all kinds of Hu people will no longer rebel, it will definitely be eliminated, but it is difficult to guarantee that their animal nature will not be stimulated again, so its long-term stability is uncertain.
