《论衡·卷四·书虚篇》
五帝、三王死后都没有得到天的祐助，唯独孔子死后得到天的祐助，这岂不是孔子的魂魄圣灵，而五帝、三王的精灵不那么神明了。
五帝、三王无佑，孔子之死独有天报，是孔子之魂圣，五帝之精不能神也。
The Five Emperors and Three Kings did not receive Heaven's favor after they died, only Confucius did. Doesn't this mean that Confucius' soul and spirit are holy, while the Five Emperors and Three Kings' spirits are not that divine?
