《墨子·19章 非攻(下)》
屠杀了这些人民，就灭掉了鬼神的祭主，废灭了先王，残害虐待万民，使百姓分散，那么这就于中不符合鬼神的利益了。
夫杀之人，灭鬼神之主，废灭先王，贼虐万民，百姓离散，则此中不中鬼之利矣。
To slaughter these people is to exterminate the Master of Offerings of the spirits, destroy our ancestors, torture and slaughter the people, and scatter the inhabitants—and this is supposed to benefit the spirits?
