《魏书·列传·卷五十八》
刘藻回答说： 为臣虽然才能不敌古人，但也不留下敌人而交给陛下应付，臣当滤曲河之酒以待百官。 
藻对曰： 臣虽才非古人，庶亦不留贼虏而遗陛下，辄当酾曲阿之酒以待百官。 
Liu Zhao replied: “Though your minister’s abilities are inferior to those of the ancients, he will not leave enemies for Your Majesty to deal with. Your minister will filter the wine of Quhe to entertain the officials.”
