《元史·列传·卷四十七》
至元七年，任吏部尚书，鉴于当时选任官吏无一定制度，因而著《选曹八议》一文。至元九年，任东昌路总管，注重提倡道德，以理服人，不专靠刑罚，仅仅一年该郡政治清明，人民称颂。
至郡，专务以德率下，不事鞭箠，吏不忍欺，民亦化服，期年而政成，郡人颂之。
In the seventh year of Zhiyuan, he became the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and in view of the lack of a fixed system for the selection of officials at that time, he wrote the article "Eight Views of the Selection of Officials". In the ninth year of Zhiyuan, he served as the general manager of Dongchang Road, emphasizing the promotion of morality, convincing people with reason, not relying solely on punishment, and in just one year, the politics of the county became clear and the people praised him.
