《资治通鉴·晋纪·晋纪五》
当今都城的王公贵族，权势要人，个个爱我们孔方兄而没有休止，拿钱的手，紧抱着钱始终不放松。当今的人心中只有钱罢了。 
洛中硃衣、当涂之士，爱我家兄，皆无已已，执我之手，抱我终始，凡今之人，惟钱而已！ 
Today's dukes, nobles, the powerful, and the powerful in the capital, everyone loves our brother Kong Fang without cease. They hold the money tightly in their hands and never let it go. People today only have money in their hearts.
