《太平广记·卷四百七十四·昆虫二》
浮休子说： 从前文武圣皇帝的时候，蝗虫围绕着京城飞快地发展扩散开来，皇上派人拿来看，对比着选了其中一只大蝗虫，对着它祷告说： 我的政治和刑罚不正常，仁爱诚信之心没有普及，应当吃我的心，不要伤害庄稼。 
浮休子曰： 昔文武圣皇帝时，绕京城蝗大起，帝令取而观之，对仗选一大者，祝之曰： 朕政刑乖僻，仁信未孚，当食我心，无害苗稼。 
Fu Xiuzhi said: In the days of Emperor Wenwu Saint, locusts spread rapidly around the capital. The emperor sent someone to take a look at it. Comparatively, he chose a big locust and prayed to it: My politics and punishments are abnormal, and My heart of benevolence and integrity has not spread, I should eat my heart and not hurt the crops.
