《史记·三十世家·陈涉世家》
 到了秦始皇，发扬六代传下来的功业，像驾车似的挥动长鞭来驾御各诸侯国，吞并了东周和西周两个小国，灭亡了六国诸侯，登上了皇帝的宝座而控制天下，手持刑杖来鞭笞天下的人民，声威震慑四海。
 及至始皇，奋六世之余烈，振长策而御宇内，吞二周而亡诸侯，履至尊而制六合，执敲朴以鞭笞ī天下，威振四海。
When it came to Qin Shi Huang, he expanded the accomplishments passed down by the six generations, flourished a long whip like driving a carriage to control the various feudal states, annexed the two small nations of Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou, extinguished the six state feudal rulers, ascended to the emperor's throne and controlled the world, and held a punitive rod in his hand to flog the people of the world, his authority awing all regions.
