《礼记·玉藻》
用一个符节来召，表示事情较缓，臣子快步前往也就行了凡是国君召唤，臣子如果是当班，就要不等穿上鞋子就去；如果不当班，就要不等备好车子就去：士对于大夫的光临，不敢出门拜迎，因为那是双方身份相等才有的礼节，但可以在大夫告别时拜送。
唯世妇命于奠茧，其它则皆从男子。凡侍于君，绅垂，足如履齐，颐溜垂拱，视下而听上，视带以及袷，听乡任左。凡君召，以三节：二节以走，一节以趋。
Calling with a tally means that the matter is not urgent, so the minister can go there quickly. Whenever the monarch calls, if the minister is on duty, he should go without putting on shoes; if he is not on duty, he should go without preparing the carriage. As a gentleman, you dare not go out to greet the大夫, because it is a kind of etiquette when two people have the same status, but you can bow to them farewell.
