《晋书·帝纪·第九章》
隐退于幽谷里的贤才，随俗沉浮的士人，即使坚持天一样高的志节，隐居于幽深的山谷，想要以高尚的道义，以振兴协同的美誉，哪里比得上自满于山水之间，隐遁在深山幽谷，遵循着匹夫的高洁，却忘记了兼济天下的大义呢？
夫肥遁穷谷之贤，滑泥扬波之士，虽抗志玄霄，潜默幽岫，贪屈高尚之道，以隆协赞之美，孰与自足山水，栖迟丘壑，徇匹夫之洁，而忘兼济之大邪？
The virtuous talents who retire to the secluded valleys and the scholars who drift with the trend, even if they stick to the will of heaven, live in seclusion in the deep valleys, and want to use lofty morality to revitalize the reputation of harmony and cooperation, where can they compare to being complacent in the mountains and rivers, hiding in the deep mountains and secluded valleys, following the integrity of a commoner, but forgetting the great righteousness of benefiting the world?
