《宋史·列传·卷一百二十四》
岳飞喜爱贤能，礼遇士人，阅览经书史籍，歌唱雅词，投壶为乐，谨恭风雅像个读书的人。
好贤礼士，览经史，雅歌投壶，恂恂如书生。
Yue Fei loved capable people and treated scholars with courtesy. He read classic texts and historical records, sang elegant lyrics, played pitching-pot and practiced archery, and was as refined as a scholar in his conduct and manner.
