《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪三十五》
当时东海公刘阳只有十二岁，在帐子后面说： 那是官吏接受郡守下的指令，将要同其他郡丈量土地的情况作比较。 
时东海公阳年十二，在幄后言曰： 吏受郡敕，当欲以垦田相方耳。 
At the time, Duke Yang of Donghai, Liu Yang, who was only twelve years old, stepped out from behind the screen and said, "The officials must have been acting on the orders of the governor, and they are comparing the results of the surveys with other counties."
