《汉书·传·王莽传下》
任命大司马司允费兴作荆州牧，王莽接见他，询问他达任所以后的计划方案，费兴回答说： 荆州、扬州的人民大都依靠山林湖沼，以捕鱼、樵采作为职业。
以大司马司允费兴为荆州牧，见，问到部方略，兴对曰： 荆、扬之民率依阻山泽，以渔采为业。
Wang Mang appointed Great Horseman Sima Yun as Inspector of Jingzhou, and asked him about his plans. Fei Xing replied: “The people of Jingzhou and Yangzhou mostly live in the forests, lakes and marshes, and they work as fisherman and woodcutters.”
