《资治通鉴·齐纪·齐纪六》
孝文帝又诏令： 代京人早先没有姓族，虽然是功勋、贤士的后代，也与那些寒贱出身者没有什么区别。所以，一些宦途通达者虽然位极公卿，但他们的亲族却依然担任着地位卑下的官职。
又诏以 代人先无姓族，虽功贤之胤，无异寒贱；故宦达者位极公卿，其功、衰亲仍居猥任。
Emperor Xiaowen further decreed: The people of Daijing did not have surnames in the early days. Even though they were the descendants of meritorious and virtuous men, they were not distinguished from those of humble origin. Therefore, although those who were successful in their official careers held the highest official positions, their relatives still held humble positions.
