領軍不爾，至今猶法鍾、張。 The commandant-in-chief did not; even now his line still follows Zhong and Zhang.

張芝、索靖、韋誕、鍾會、二衞竝得名前代，無以辨其優劣，唯見其筆力驚異耳。 Zhang Zhi, Suo Jing, Wei Dan, Zhong Hui, and the two Weis all made names in former times; one cannot sort their ranks—only that their brushwork struck the eye as uncanny.
