《宋书·志·卷十一》
 这样君子反映情感以调和志趣，推广音乐以完成教化，所以能情趣高深而有文采，精气旺盛而转化为神采，心情舒和而显得英气勃发。 
 是以君子反情以和志，广乐以成教，故能情深而文明，气盛而化神，和顺积中，而英华发外。 
 When men of nobility could display their feelings in harmony with their abilities and promote music to complete their educations, they could have refined sensibilities and literary talents, vital spirits and inspired looks, and harmonious moods and heroic spirits.
