〈（《宋史·顏衎傳》：天成初，為鄒平令。 (According to the 《History of Song · Biography of Yan Yan》: At the beginning of the Tiancheng era he was magistrate of Zouping.

衎未領書，以故規行之，尋為吏所訟，習遽召衎笞之，幕客軍吏，咸以為辱及正人，習甚悔焉，即表為觀察判官，且塞前事。）〉 Yan had not yet received the letter and followed the old custom. Clerks soon brought suit against him. Fu Xi had Yan summoned and flogged. His staff and officers all felt an upright man had been disgraced. Fu Xi deeply regretted it, memorialized to make Yan an administrative aide on his staff, and hushed the affair.)〉
