一姓相傳，至今不已，是中國聖王之所不能者，誠爲異事。而封建之法能行焉，且其器械之精妙，制度之一定，則不可以蠻夷忽之也。 [Korean Literary Sinitic, trad.]- From: 『順菴先生文集』by An Jeongbok, 1748
- 일성상전(하야) 지금불이(는) 시중국성왕지소불능자(이어늘) 성위이사(고) 이봉건지법능행언(이요) 차기기계지정묘(며) 제도지일정(은) 즉 불가이만이홀지야(이니라).

[Sino-Korean] - Passing down a single lineage, without any break up to today, is something not even the sage-kings of China could do; it is strange indeed . And the laws of fengjian are well-enacted there; furthermore, one cannot ignore the intricacies of their machinery and the regularity of their systems simply because they are barbarians.
