《南齐书·志·卷九》
说的是远古时候，没有夫妻共吃一盆牲物的礼仪，三王创造了它，用远古的器具，是重视夫妇的初始。
言太古之时，无共牢之礼，三王作之，而用太古之器，重夫妇之始也。
This refers to a time in ancient history when there was no ritual for a husband and wife to eat from the same bowl of sacrificial animals, so the Three Kings created it, using implements from ancient times to give importance to the beginning of the relationship between a husband and wife.
