The state of Buyeo夫餘國
1The seal of the king of Ye
夫餘國，在玄菟北千餘里，南接鮮卑，北有弱水，地方二千里，戶八萬，有城邑宮室，地宜五穀。其人強勇，會同揖讓之儀有似中國。其出使，乃衣錦罽，以金銀飾腰。其法，殺人者死，沒入其家；盜者一責十二；男女淫，婦人妒，皆殺之。若有軍事，殺牛祭天，以其蹄占吉凶，蹄解者爲凶，合者爲吉。死者以生人殉葬，有槨無棺。其居喪，男女皆衣純白，婦人著布面衣，去玉佩。出善馬及貂豽、美珠，珠大如酸棗。其國殷富，自先世以來，未嘗被破。其王印文稱「穢王之印」。國中有古穢城，本穢貃之城也。
The state of Buyeo lies more than a thousand li north of Hyeondo. On the south it touches the Xianbei, and on the north there is the Ruo River. The land is two thousand li square and holds eighty thousand households. There are walled towns and palace buildings, and the soil suits the five grains. The people are strong and brave, and when they gather together their bowing and yielding are much like those of China. When they go out as envoys they wear brocade and felted wool, and they adorn their waists with gold and silver.
By their law, one who kills a man is put to death and his household is taken away. One who steals pays twelve for one. If a man and a woman are licentious, or a wife is jealous, they are all put to death. When there is a matter of war they kill an ox and sacrifice to Heaven, and they divine good or ill fortune by its hooves: if the hooves are parted it is ill, and if they are closed it is good. The living are buried with the dead, and there is an outer coffin but no inner one. In mourning both men and women wear pure white, and the women put on a cloth face covering and take off their jade pendants.
The land yields fine horses, sable and raccoon dog, and beautiful pearls, and the pearls are as big as sour jujubes. That state is well supplied and rich, and from the time of its earlier generations it has never been broken. The writing on their king's seal says "the seal of the king of Ye (穢王之印)," and within the country there is an old city of Ye (穢城), which was in truth a city of the Yemaek.
2The edict that raised the country again
武帝時，頻來朝貢，至太康六年，爲慕容廆所襲破，其王依慮自殺，子弟走保沃沮。帝爲下詔曰：「夫餘王世守忠孝，爲惡虜所滅，其湣念之。若其遺類足以復國者，當爲之方計，使得存立。」有司奏護東夷校尉鮮于嬰不救夫餘，失於機略。詔免嬰，以何龕代之。明年，夫餘後王依羅遣詣龕，求率見人還復舊國。仍請援。龕上列，遣督郵賈沈以兵送之。廆又要之于路，沈與戰，大敗之，廆衆退，羅得復國。爾後每爲廆掠其種人，賣於中國。帝湣之，又發詔以官物贖還，下司、冀二州，禁市夫餘之口。
In the time of Emperor Wu they came often with tribute. In the sixth year of Taikang they were attacked and broken by Murong Hui; their king Uiryeo took his own life, and his sons and younger brothers fled to Okjeo and held out there. The emperor sent down an edict for them: "The king of Buyeo has kept faith and filial duty generation after generation, and he has been destroyed by a wicked barbarian. I grieve for him. If those of his kind who remain are enough to restore the country, a plan should be made for them so that they may stand and live."
The officers in charge reported that Xianyu Ying, the Colonel Protector of the Eastern Yi, had not rescued Buyeo and had failed in judgment and planning. By edict Ying was dismissed, and He Kan took his place. The next year Uira, the later king of Buyeo, sent a messenger to He Kan asking to lead back the people who were left and restore the old country, and asking for help. He Kan reported it above and sent the commandery inspector (督郵) Jia Chen to escort them with troops. Murong Hui again barred the way against them, but Jia Chen fought him and broke him badly. Hui's host fell back, and Uira won back his country.
After that Murong Hui was always seizing people of their kind and selling them in China. The emperor grieved over it, and again sent down an edict to buy them back with state goods (官物) and return them, and he ordered the two provinces of Sizhou and Jizhou to forbid the buying and selling of people of Buyeo.
