《论衡·卷二十七·定贤篇》
如果是这样，单从孔子编写《春秋》这件事，不能够看出他是圣人；如果有像孔子那样业绩的人，还不能识别他是贤人吗？ 
夫如是，孔子之作《春秋》，未可以观圣；有若孔子之业者，未可知贤也。
If so, from the simple fact that Confucius compiled the Spring and Autumn Annals, it is not possible to see that he is a sage; if there were people with achievements like Confucius, would it not be possible to recognize that he is a worthy?
