《汉书·传·元后传》
老百姓为他们唱着歌谣说： 五侯刚刚发迹的时候，曲阳侯最强，毁坏高都作殿，又衍及外杜一带，土山渐台高耸，如同皇帝的白虎殿。 
百姓歌之曰： 五侯初起，曲阳最怒，坏决高都，连竟外杜，土山渐台西白虎。 
The common people sang a song for them: When the five lords had first risen to power, Marquis of Quyang was the strongest, destroying Gaodu to make a hall and expanding to the outer Du area, the earthen mountain, and the high platform soaring, just like the Emperor's hall of white tiger.
