《管子·匡君大匡》
对父兄虽然无过，但州里无人称赞的，官吏举荐，国君也可使用，好的给上等赏，不好的则官吏受罚。 
于父兄无过，于州里莫称，吏进之，君用之。善，为上赏；不善，吏有罚。 
Those who have not committed offenses against their fathers or brothers, but who have not been praised by the prefecture, if the officials recommend them, then the sovereign can also use them. Those who are good should be highly rewarded, and those who are not good should be punished.
