《墨子·12章 尚同(中)》
所以墨子说： 现在天下的王公大人士君子，如果真想使他们的国家富有，百姓众多，刑政治理，国家安定，就不可不考察上同，因为这是为政的根本。 
是故子墨子曰： 今天下之王公大人士君子，请将欲富其国家，众其人民，治其刑政，定其社稷，当若尚同之不可不察，此之本也。 
Therefore, Mozi said: "Nowadays, all the princes, great men, and gentlemen of the world, if they truly want their countries to be wealthy, their people to be numerous, their laws to be in order, and their countries to be stable, must examine the Shang Tong, because this is the foundation of governance."
