《三国志·魏书·二李臧文吕许典二庞阎》
太祖劝酒，典韦手拿大斧站在太祖身后，斧刃长一尺，太祖举酒到一个人的前面，典韦就举起大斧盯着那个人。
太祖行酒，韦持大斧立后，刃径尺，太祖所至之前，韦辄举斧目之。
The Imperial Ancestor urged people to drink; Dian Wei stood behind the Imperial Ancestor holding a large battle-axe, the blade of which was one foot long; whenever the Imperial Ancestor raised his wine towards someone, Dian Wei would raise his battle-axe and stare at that person.
