《旧唐书·列传·卷二十九》
现在的和尚尼姑，请责令他们配成夫妻，就成了十万户人家，生儿育女，哺养十年，教育训练十二年，自然有利国家，可以补充军队。
今之僧尼，请令匹配，即成十万余户。产育男女，十年长养，一纪教训，自然益国，可以足兵。
Now that the monks and nuns are ordered to form couples, there will be 100,000 households, with children, nursing for ten years, and educating and training for twelve years. This will naturally benefit the country and the army can be replenished.
