《晋书·列传·第四章》
奉韶制定罢免，升迁的法规大致是说： 我听说上古的政治，因循自然，自身清虚追求诚信，那么就有了诚信顺从之道；精神感化心灵沟通，就得到了天下至理。
受诏为黜陟之课，其略曰； 臣闻上古之政，因循自然，虚己委诚，而信顺之道应，神感心通，而天下之理得。
The Fengshao was enacted to govern dismissals and promotions. It essentially states: "I have heard that in ancient times, politics followed nature. People were pure and honest, and thus there was the Way of loyalty and submission; when spirits were moved and minds communicated, the ultimate truth was attained."
