《尚书·周书·立政》
文王不兼管各种教令。各种狱讼案件和各种禁戒，用和不用只顺从主管官员和牧民的人；对于各种狱讼案件和各种禁戒，文王不敢过问这些。
文王罔攸兼于庶言；庶狱庶慎，惟有司之牧夫是训用违；庶狱庶慎，文王罔敢知于兹。
King Wen did not involve himself in the details of administrative matters. He left all matters of legal judgment and the enforcement of prohibitions to the appropriate officials and their subordinates. King Wen did not dare to meddle in these matters.
