周搖以質實見知，獨孤以恤人流譽，乞伏慧能以國讓，侯莫陳所居治理，或知牧人之道，或踐仁義之路，皆有可稱焉。 Zhou Yao was valued for integrity, Dugu Kai for compassion, Qi Fuhui for yielding honors to his brother, and Houmo Chenying for good governance—some knew how to rule the people, others walked the path of benevolence; each had qualities worth praise.
