《新唐书·列传·卷八十二》
修葺宫室，置办服饰，玩好声色之娱，准备梳洗的宦官、宫女，这些是应该后做不能先做的。
葺宫室，治服玩，耳目之娱，巾栉之侍，是皆宜后不可先也。
Renovating the palace, making clothes and possessing the enjoyment of sensual pleasures, and preparing the eunuchs and maids who provide cleansing services, these are all that should be done later and cannot be done first.
