《宋史·列传·卷一百四十二》
宋孝宗诏令选拔谏官，虞允文推荐了李彦颖、林光朝和王质三人，他们三人皆为人耿直、光明磊落，并以文学才能著称于当时，因此虞允文荐举他们，很长时间却没有答复。
上命选谏官，允文以李彦颍、林光朝、王质对，三人皆鲠亮，又以文学推重于时，故荐之，久不报。
Emperor Xiaozong ordered that a selection of advice officials be made. Yu Yunwen recommended three, Li Yanying, Lin Guangzhao and Wang Zhi. All three were honest and forthright individuals known for their literary talents at that time. However, although Yu Yunwen had put forward their names, a long time passed without any response.
