- courtesy name of 張良 (Zhang Liang)
- 子房以蓋世之才，不爲伊尹、太公之謀，而特出于荊軻、聶政之計，以僥倖于不死，此圯上老人所爲深惜者也。 [Literary Chinese, trad.]
- From: c. 1060, Su Shi, 《留侯論》
- Zǐfáng yǐ gàishì zhī cái, bùwéi Yīyǐn, Tàigōng zhī móu, ér tè chūyú Jīngkē, Nièzhèng zhī jì, yǐ jiǎoxìng yú bùsǐ, cǐ yíshànglǎorén suǒwèi shēn xī zhě yě. [Pinyin]
- Zifang was a second-to-none talent. In scheming, he could measure up to Yi Yin and Taigong, but why did he belittle himself only to adopt the assassins' tricks? It was luck that he didn't get killed, which was exactly what the aged man on the bridge deeply pitied.
子房以盖世之才，不为伊尹、太公之谋，而特出于荆轲、聂政之计，以侥幸于不死，此圯上老人所为深惜者也。 [Literary Chinese, simp.]
