3.121

夫姬文姒禹。君之聖者也。日磾由余臣之賢者也。斯皆生於夷狄(日音密磾音低。姬文王姓。姒禹王姓。文王生於西邠。禹王生於石佃。二聖俱生於夷邦。於中國行仁君之化。仁君之政。未見言其廢政也。金日磾。漢文帝時忠臣番人也。有賢人之德。由余。始皇帝時入秦之界使。亦賢人也。若文王禹王金日磾由余等。明君賢臣俱係夷狄之人也)。

Now, Ji Wen and Si Yu were sage rulers, while Jin Midi and You Yu were worthy ministers. All of them were born among the Yi and Di (Ri is pronounced mi; di is pronounced di. Ji was the surname of King Wen; Si was the surname of King Yu. King Wen was born in Western Bin; King Yu was born in Shidian. Both sages were born in barbarian lands. They practiced the transformation and government of benevolent rulers in the Central States, and we have never seen it said that their government was abandoned. Jin Midi was a loyal barbarian minister during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han who possessed the virtue of a worthy man. You Yu was an envoy who entered the borders of Qin during the time of the First Emperor, and was also a worthy man. As for King Wen, King Yu, Jin Midi, You Yu, and others, these enlightened rulers and worthy ministers were all people of the Yi and Di).
