《三国志·魏书·后妃传》
根据礼仪典制，妇人只是依靠夫君的爵位高升而显得尊贵秦代违背了古代的礼法，汉代又沿袭秦朝的做法，这些都不是先王所规定的。 
在礼典，妇因夫爵。秦违古法，汉氏因之，非先王之令典也。 
According to the rites and ceremonies, a woman is only considered noble because of her husband's high rank. The Qin Dynasty violated the ancient rites, and the Han Dynasty followed the Qin Dynasty's practices, but these were not what the former kings had prescribed.
