《资治通鉴·后周纪·后周纪四》
南汉主闻悉唐军屡遭失败，忧愁溢于言表，派遣使者向后周进贡，道路被湖南所阻塞，于是建造战舰，进行军事准备；不久纵酒狂饮，说： 我自身能免于战火，就很幸运了，还有什么闲暇来考虑后代呢！ 
南汉主闻唐屡败，忧形于色，遣使入贡于周，为湖南所闭，乃治战舰，修武备。既而纵酒酣饮，曰： 吾身得免，幸矣，何暇虑后世哉！ 
The Southern Han lord heard that the Tang army had suffered repeated defeats, and his worries were beyond words. He sent envoys to pay tribute to Later Zhou. The road was blocked by Hunan, so he built warships and made military preparations; soon he drank and indulged in drinking, saying: If I myself can escape the war, I am very lucky. What leisure time is there to think about future generations!
