《梁书·本纪·卷二》
我知识浅陋不明事理，然而命运不分先后，安定匡济之功，适逢机运，趁此运转时来，顺应众人心愿，于是拯救废弛的纲纪，立大功于华夏，缅怀前人的遗迹，理应较之愧疚。
朕以寡暗，命不先后，宁济之功，属当期运，乘此时来，因心万物，遂振厥弛维，大造区夏，永言前踪，义均惭德。
My knowledge is shallow, and my understanding of things is not clear, but my fate has not been divided into the past and the present, and the merit of pacifying the country and helping the people has encountered the opportunity. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I followed the wishes of the people and saved the abandoned discipline, made great contributions to China, and paid homage to the relics of the predecessors. I should be ashamed of it.
