《南齐书·列传·卷四十四》
我近来访问了年老的人和管理当地的官员，淮河以南的旧田，到处都望不到头，池塘坡没有经过修整，都长满了茂盛的草。
臣比访之故老及经彼宰守，淮南旧田，触处极目，陂遏不修，咸成茂草。
I recently visited the local officials and old people in the area south of the Huai River, and the old fields were everywhere, and the ponds and slopes have not been repaired, so they are overgrown with vegetation.
