《南史·列传·卷二十二》
删简挑选，共过了三次、抄了五遍，其余各《经》以及《周官》、《仪礼》、《国语》、《尔雅》、《山海经》、《本草》都是抄了两遍，子史各集都是一遍。
广略去取，凡三过五抄，余经及周官、仪礼、国语、尔雅、山海经、本草并再抄,子史诸集皆一遍。
After selecting and simplifying, I went through three times and copied five times. I also copied the rest of the classics, Zhouguan, Yili, Guoyu, Erya, Shan Hai Jing, and Bencao twice, and I copied collections of Confucian Classics, and historical records once each.
