《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪四十二》
现今，主持选官事务的选曹对此全未涉及；所实行的考查官员的办法，全都停留在书法文理、资历考课、言词和应对周旋等方面。
今选曹皆不及焉；考校之法，皆在书判、簿历、言词、俯仰而已。
At present, the selection office in charge of the selection of officials has not mentioned this at all; the methods for examining officials that have been implemented all stay at the level of calligraphy and grammar, qualification assessment, rhetoric and social interaction.
