《咸》、《韶》、《夏》、《武》之樂，聲亡書逸，河間作《記》，史遷因以為《書》，寥乎希哉，遼之樂，觀此足矣。 The music of Xian, Shao, Xia, and Wu has vanished in sound and scattered in text; the Lord of Hejian compiled a Record, and Sima Qian treated it as a Classic—how remote and rare that is! For the music of the Liao, what is set down here is enough to judge by.
