《后汉书·本纪·皇后纪上》
太后每听到老百姓饥荒，就通宵不能入睡，生活供给，亲自减少或撤除，用以救济灾难困苦，所以天下恢复平静，年岁还得到丰收。
每闻人饥，或达旦不寐，而躬自减彻，以救灾厄，故天下复平，岁还丰穰。
Every time the empress dowager heard that the common people were starving, she couldn't sleep all night. The living expenses were reduced or cut off personally, and they were used to relieve the victims of the disaster. Therefore, the world returned to peace, and the years were still fruitful.
