《魏书·列传·卷七十九》
传到我这一代，我昏昧无知，学识浅薄，虽受到家风的浸染，但有愧于没有显著成绩，然而我逢到了好的时世，皇上加于我的恩遇出于我意料之外，常常蒙受恩泽，承受恩惠，进出文阁，参预史官，题篆宫禁，被视为极有才能的人。
暨臣闇短，识学庸薄，渐渍家风，有忝无显。但逢时来，恩出愿外，每承泽云津，厕沾漏润，驱驰文阁，参预史官，题篆宫禁，猥同上哲。
When it came to my generation, I was ignorant and shallow. Although I was influenced by the family style, I was ashamed that I had not made significant achievements. However, I met a good time. The emperor's favor was unexpected to me. I often had his favor and was grateful for his favor, going in and out of the pavilion, participating in the historians, and titling the imperial palace, which was regarded as a very capable person.
