《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪三》
高帝询问群臣。群臣都是崤山以东地区的人，便抢着发言： 周朝统治了几百年，而秦朝经历两代就灭亡了。
帝问群臣，群臣皆山东人，争言： 周王数百年，秦二世即亡。
The emperor asked the ministers. The ministers were all from east of Mount Xiao, so they competed to speak. The Zhou Dynasty ruled for several hundred years, while the Qin Dynasty only lasted two generations.
