《南史·列传·卷四十二》
汉代以来，侯王子弟，因为骄奢恣纵的缘故，大则灭亡自身、丧失家族，小则削减剥夺封邑土地，怎能不加警戒呢！ 
汉世以来，侯王子弟，以骄恣之故，大者灭身丧族，小者削夺邑地，可不戒哉！ 
Since the Han Dynasty, the sons of the marquises and princes, due to arrogance and unrestraint, have caused destruction to themselves and their families. Those with less severe cases were stripped of their fiefs and lands, so how can we not be wary of this!
