周將軍韋孝寬忌光英勇，乃作謠言，令間諜漏其文於鄴，曰「百升飛上天，明月照長安」，又曰「高山不推自崩，槲樹不扶自豎」。 Zhou general Wei Xiaokuan, jealous of Guang's valor, composed slanderous verses and had spies leak the text at Ye: "A hundred pints fly up to heaven; Bright Moon shines on Chang'an," and also, "The high mountain needs no push to collapse; the oak needs no prop to stand straight."
