史槓宣慰荊南，數加延禮，薦之姚燧，燧方以文章大名自負，少所許可，以所為文眎端，端一讀，即能指擿其用意所在，燧嘆獎不已，語人：「後二十年，若謝端者，豈易得哉！」 Shi Geng, pacification commissioner of Jingnan, repeatedly extended him courtesy and recommended him to Yao Sui. Yao Sui, then proud of his great name in letters, seldom approved others. He showed Duan what he had written. Duan read it once and could point out where his meaning lay. Yao Sui sighed in admiration without end and told others: "Twenty years from now, will a man like Xie Duan be easy to find!"
