《论衡·卷十二·程材篇》
五曹办事自有章程，公文书写自有旧例，只要勤勉练习，就能成为高明的文吏，这怎么能受到称赞呢？
五曹自有条品，簿书自有故事，勤力玩弄，成为巧吏，安足多矣？
The five departmental offices have their own rules for handling affairs, and the writing of official documents has its precedents. As long as one practices diligently, one can become a skilled clerk. How can this be praised?
