紐回、劉俊之倫，翟林、華秋之輩，或茂草嘉樹榮枯於庭宇，或走獸翔禽馴狎於廬墓，非夫孝悌之至，通於神明者乎！ Men such as Niu Hui and Liu Shijun, Zhai Lin and Hua Qiu — in some, fine trees and flourishing grass mirrored life and death in the courtyard; in others, wild beasts and birds grew tame beside hut and grave. Can this be anything less than filial piety and fraternal devotion raised to the utmost, touching even the realm of spirits?
