韓子為羅池廟碑。而唐史非之。宜非也。其事神在韓子當辯。乃從神之而張其說。何其好怪也。語曰。子不語怪力亂神。而韓子乃爾。豈不與孔子相悖耶。

Master Han wrote the stele inscription for the Luochi Shrine, and the Tang History criticized him for it; it was indeed right to criticize him. In serving spirits, Master Han ought to have made discerning distinctions; instead, he followed along in divinizing it and embellished such accounts. How excessively fond of the bizarre! A saying goes: 'The Master did not speak of the bizarre, feats of strength, disorders, or spirits.' Yet Master Han acted thus—did this not run contrary to Confucius?
