《后汉书·本纪·皇后纪上》
至于郭竟封新妻阝侯，任东海相，去就以礼，使后世的人，看不出一点宠辱进退的痕迹，不也是光耀古代吗！
至乎东海逡巡，去就以礼，使后世不见隆薄进退之隙，不亦光于古乎！
As for Guo actually conferring a new wife as Marquis of Fei Hou, serving as the Prime Minister of the East China Sea, going and coming with propriety,使后世的人, can't see a trace of favor and disgrace, advancing and retreating, isn't it also glorious in ancient times!
