《南史·列传·卷三十三》
 我对于音乐，聆听的功力不如自弹，只是我所精通的不是雅声，是令人遗憾的，然而到了一个隔绝的地方，又有什么不同呢？
吾于音乐，听功不及自挥，但所精非雅声爲可恨，然至于一绝处，亦复何异邪。
When it comes to music, my listening skills are not as good as my playing skills. It is regrettable that I am not proficient in elegant music, but when I arrive at an isolated place, what difference does it make?
