《晋书·帝纪·第二章》
因此束夷西戎，南蛮北狄，狂暴狡猾贪婪凶悍，世代做强盗仇敌的人，都感怀仁义恩惠，敲门来依附，有的听命纳贡，有的请求设置官府。
是以东夷西戎，南蛮北狄，狂狡贪悍，世为寇雠者，皆感义怀惠，款塞内附，或委命纳贡，或求置官司。
Therefore, barbarians in the west and in the south, the northern nomads, and the Xirong, who generation after generation had been bandits and enemies and who were fierce, sly, greedy, and cruel, were all moved by benevolence and kindness and came knocking at our door to become subjects. Some submitted to our authority and paid tribute, while others requested that prefectures be established for them.
