《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪二十三》
所以，只要不失掉剑柄，天下虽有不顺，没有人敢触其锋芒，这便是汉武帝所以开辟疆土建功立业，成为汉室江山的宗祖。
故诚能勿失其柄，天下虽有不顺，莫敢触其锋，此孝武皇帝所以辟地建功，为汉世宗也。
Therefore, as long as the handle of the sword is not lost, although there are failures in the world, no one dares to touch its edge. This is why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened up territory and established his career and became the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.
