《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪三十八》
春秋时，鲁文公拆毁了泉台，《春秋》讥讽道： 先祖造台而子孙自毁台，还不如只留着它不去居住。 这是由于泉台的存在不会妨害人民。鲁襄公曾建立三军，而被鲁昭公裁撤，君子却赞扬他的复古举动，认为不裁撤便会妨害人民。
鲁文公毁泉台，《春秋》讥之曰： 先祖为之而己毁之，不如勿居而已， 以其无妨害于民也；襄公作三军，昭公舍之，君子大其复古，以为不舍则有害于民也。
In the Spring and Autumn period, Duke Wen of Lu demolished the Quanta Terrace. The Spring and Autumn Annals criticized him, saying: It would have been better for him to leave it standing and not live in it than to destroy a terrace built by his ancestors. This was because leaving the Quanta Terrace intact would not obstruct the people. Duke Xiang of Lu established the Three Armies, which Duke Zhao abolished. The gentleman scholars praised Duke Zhao’s action as restoring ancient ways, arguing that if the army had not been abolished, it would have been an obstacle to the people.
