《汉书·传·公孙弘卜式儿宽传》
公孙弘再次上疏说： 陛下有先圣的位置而没有先圣的名声，有先圣的名声而又没有先圣的官吏，所以陛下现在所处的情势与先圣相同，但治理的结果却不一样。
弘复上疏曰： 陛下有先圣之位而无先圣之名，有先圣之民而无先圣之吏，是以势同而治异。
Gongsun Hong once again submitted a memorial saying: His Majesty has the position of a saint but does not have the reputation of a saint, and he has the reputation of a saint but does not have the officials of a saint, so the current situation of His Majesty is the same as that of a saint, but the results of governance are different.
