《左传·哀公·哀公二年》
蒯聩不敢放纵安逸，居于持矛作战的行列里，谨敢祈祷保佑不要断筋，不要折骨，脸上不要受伤，以成就大事，不给三位祖先带来羞辱。
蒯聩不敢自佚，备持矛焉。敢告无绝筋，无折骨，无面伤，以集大事，无作三祖羞。
Kuaique has not dared to be profligate in his ease, but has stood with the rank and file holding a spear. He prays fervently that his sinews may not be severed or his bones broken, and that he may not be wounded in the face, so that he may achieve great deeds and not put his three ancestors to shame.
