二年五代乱世，以嗣君即位者五，而改元不依古者四，梁末帝、晋出帝即位逾年，宜改元而不改，又明年然后改，汉隐帝、周世宗皆仍称先帝年号，终其世不改，而本纪无讥者，但书其实，自见其失也。 In the second year: in the chaotic age of the Five Dynasties, five successors took the throne, yet four did not change the reign title according to ancient practice. Liang’s last emperor and Jin’s deposed emperor, more than a year after accession, ought to have changed the era name but did not, changing only the following year. Han’s Hidden Emperor and Zhou’s Shizong both kept their predecessors’ era names to the end without change, and the annals offer no censure—they simply record the facts, and the fault shows itself.
