《淮南子·道应训》
用酒肉使他们心情通畅，以音乐让他们自娱自乐，用鬼神使他们敬畏，用繁文缛节来掩盖他们的本质，以厚葬服丧来耗尽他们的家财，用一些贵重的随葬物使他们贫穷，用深挖墓穴、高筑坟地来耗尽他们的体力。
酒肉以通之，竽瑟以娱之，鬼神以畏之。繁文滋礼以飱其质，厚葬久丧以伣其家；含珠鳞施纶组，以贫其财，深凿高垄以尽其力。
Using alcohol and meat to make them happy, using music to entertain themselves, using ghosts and gods to make them in awe, using elaborate rituals to conceal their true nature, using a lavish burial to exhaust their wealth, using precious burial objects to make them poor, using deep graves and high burial mounds to exhaust their physical strength.
