《国语·楚语·观射父论祀牲》
天子亲自舂好祭天用的黍稷。王后亲自缫丝做成祭服，自公卿以下直到百姓，谁敢不严肃恭敬地为神出力呢！
天子亲舂禘郊之盛，王后亲缲其服，自公以下至于庶人，其谁敢不齐肃恭敬致力于神！
The Son of Heaven personally pounded the millet for the sacrifice to heaven. The queen personally reeled the silk to make the sacrificial clothes, and from the princes and ministers to the common people, who would dare not work diligently and respectfully for the gods!
