《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪二十九》
祭路神和年终祭众神，仍用汉朝规定的日子。人们问他这样做的缘故，陈咸说： 我祖先难道知道王氏祭祀的日子吗？ 
人问其故，咸曰： 我先人岂知王氏腊乎！ 
Sacrifice offerings to the gods of the road and to the ancestors at the end of the year were still performed on the days set by the Han dynasty. When people asked him why, Chen Xian said: Did my ancestors know the sacrificial days of the Wangs?
