《淮南子·要略》
他的统治术使邪曲正直，排除私欲而能树立公道。可以使百官象枝条通往树干，如车辐辏聚车轴，各自力求干好本业，人人便可以建立他们的功业，这就是国君统治的聪明之处。
其数直施而正邪，外私而立公，使百官条通而辐辏，各务其业，人致其功。此主术之明也。
His art of governance makes the crooked straight, eliminates selfishness and establishes justice. It can make all officials like branches leading to the trunk of a tree, like the spokes of a wheel converging on the axle of a cart, each striving to do their own job well, and everyone can establish their own merits, which is the wisdom of the monarch's rule.
