《明史·列传·卷一百二十九》
报告官员的政绩，大多用四六骈体语，不能反映实情。周嘉谟请求用六件事作为评定官员的标准：一为操守，二为才干，三为心术，四为政绩，五为年限，六为相貌。
上官注考，率用四六俪语，多失实，嘉谟请以六事定官评：一曰守，二曰才，三曰心，四曰政，五曰年，六曰貌。
The reports on officials’ achievements were mostly written in parallel prose and could not reflect the facts. Zhou Jiamo requested that six aspects be used as the standard for evaluating officials: integrity, talent, intentions, achievements, age, and appearance.
