《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪五十八》
如今朝廷上的舆论是官吏中穿新衣服，乘好车的人，就被称为不清廉；而不修饰仪表，穿破旧衣服的人，则被赞为廉洁。
今朝廷之议，吏有著新衣、乘好车者，谓之不清；形容不饰、衣裘敝坏者，谓之廉洁。
Nowadays, the public opinion in the imperial court is that officials who wear new clothes and ride in good cars are called dishonest; while those who do not dress up and wear shabby clothes are praised for being honest.
