[原文]

8.3 秦世不文，颇有杂赋。汉初词人，顺流而作，陆贾扣其端，贾谊振其绪，枚马[同]播其风，王扬骋其势，皋朔已下，品物毕图。繁积于宣时，校阅于成世，进御之赋，千有余首，讨其源流，信兴楚而盛汉矣。

[今译]

秦代不崇尚文辞，只有不多的杂赋。汉代初年的辞赋家，顺着这种发展来创作，陆贾开了头，贾谊加以展开，枚乘司马相如扩大他们的影响，王褒扬雄发展了这种趋势，枚皋东方朔以下，各种事物都用赋来描绘。在宣帝时大量的赋积累起来，到成帝时加以校订审阅，送请皇帝看的赋有一千多篇，研究它的源流，确实是在楚国兴起而到汉朝达到极盛了。

8.3 Although the Qin Dynasty was not noted for literaгy accomplishments, there still appeared some miscellaneous rhyme-prose. Writers of rhyme-prose early in the Han Dynasty joined the trend. Lu Jia was the trailblazer; Jia Yi pushed it forward. Mei Cheng and Sima Xiangru widened its influence; Wang Bao and Yang Xiong gave it new force. After Mei Gao and Dongfang Shuo, all subjects were brought in. Works of rhyme-prose abounded in Emperor Xuan's time. Over a thousand were edited and presented to the throne during Emperor Cheng's reign. An examination of the source reveals that the rhyme-prose emerged in the time of Chu and flourished in the Han Dynasty.
