《水经注·卷三》
先前在州任职时，平时对百姓有恩德，因此老老小小手拉着手在路上迎接他。他到西河美樱巡察时，有儿百个小孩跨着竹马来迎接拜见他。郭极间道：你们为什么老远来到这里？
前在州，素有恩德，老小相携道路，行部到西河美稷，数百小儿各骑竹马迎拜，伋问：儿曹何自远来？
When he was an official in the state before, he usually showed kindness to the people, so the old and the young welcomed him on the road, holding hands. When he inspected Meiyin of Xihe, hundreds of children welcomed him on bamboo horses. Guo Ji asked: Why did you come here from afar?
