     From: Mozi, c. 4^th century BCE, translated based on Y. P. Mei's version

     Cǐ liù jūn zhě suǒ rǎn bùdàng, gù guójiā cánwáng, shēn wéi xínglù, zōngmiào pòmiè, jué wú hòulèi, jūnchén lísàn, mínrén liúwáng. [Pinyin]

     Now, these six princes had been under bad influences. Therefore their states were ruined and they were executed, their ancestral temples were destroyed and descendants annihilated. The rulers and the subjects were dispersed and the people were left homeless.
