《后汉书·列传·刘赵淳于江刘周赵列传》
《易经》说： 古之葬者，衣以薪，藏之中野，后世圣人易之以棺椁阝。 棺椁阝的制作，从黄帝开始。
《易》曰 古之葬者，衣以薪，藏之中野，后世圣人易之以棺椁 棺椁之造，自黄帝始。
The ‘Book of Changes’ says: In ancient times, burials used clothes as firewood, and were hidden in wildernesses; later generations of sages changed these to coffins and sarcophagi. The creation of coffins and sarcophagi began with the Yellow Emperor.
