《后汉书·列传·杜栾刘李刘谢列传》
真怕役夫、穷匠，突然兴起于劳作之中，卷起袖子，扔掉斧子，登高一呼，愁苦怨恨的百姓，响应云集，八方分崩离析，国家鱼烂，虽有一尺见方那样大的钱，也不能救。
诚恐卒有役夫穷匠，起于板筑之间，投斤攘臂，登高远呼，使愁怨之民，响应云合，八方分崩，中夏鱼渍。虽方尺之钱。何能有救！
I truly fear that the conscripted laborers and impoverished artisans will suddenly rise up from their toil, roll up their sleeves, drop their axes, and with one loud shout incite the suffering and resentful populace to flock to their cause, resulting in the disintegration of the state from all sides and its putrefaction. Then, even if one possessed a coin as large as a square foot, it would not be possible to save the situation.
