《周书·列传·卷二十三》
前代君王能够移风易俗、返璞归真、垂肩拱手治理天下而达到太平盛世的局面，没有不是通过教化来实现的。
先王之所以移风易俗，还淳反素，垂拱而治天下以至太平者，莫不由此。
Ancient rulers were able to oppose foreign influences, return to a state of simplicity, and govern the world by bowing and folding their arms and thus attain a state of universal peace. This was always achieved through education.
