《孟子·滕文公章句下·第九节》
公明仪说： 厨房里有肥美的肉，马棚里有健壮的马匹，老百姓却面带饥色，田野上有饿死的人，这无异于驱赶着兽类去吃人。 
公明仪曰： 庖有肥肉，厩有肥马，民有饥色，野有饿莩，此率兽而食人也。 
Gongming Yi said: There are fat meats in the kitchen, strong horses in the stables, but the common people are hungry, and there are people starving to death in the fields. This is no different from driving beasts to eat people.
