《淮南子·泰族训》
现在祭祀的时候，屠宰烹煮、杀狗烧猪、调和滋味，这是厨师的事；陈设簠簋、排列樽俎、放置笾豆，这是巫祝的事情；斋戒严肃、穿着礼服、仪态深沉、闭口不谈，神灵以此为代表，这是尸主的任务。
今夫祭者，屠割烹杀，剥狗烧豕，调平五味者，庖也；陈簠簋，列樽俎，设笾豆者，祝也；齐明盛服，渊默而不言，神之所依者，尸也。
Now, when sacrificing, slaughtering, cooking, killing dogs, roasting pigs, and blending flavors are the chef's work; arranging the trays and bowls, arranging the tableware, placing the trays and plates, is the witchcraft's work; fasting and worshiping, wearing ritual clothes, being solemn, and refraining from speaking, represent the spirit, which is the task of the host.
