若乃明識列操，文辯兼該，聲自閨庭，號顯列國，子政集之於前，元凱編之於後，隨時綴錄，代不乏人。 Then there are women of clear moral insight and conduct, equally skilled in letters and debate, whose renown rose from the inner quarters and whose names shone across the realm. Liu Xiang collected such figures in earlier times, and Yuan Kai compiled them afterward, recording them age by age—no generation has lacked them.
