《宋史·列传·卷一百八十八》
使治理国家的人常念叨稼穑的艰辛，而其后妃不忘纺织的事情，那么，心中不存敬畏的人是很少的。 因此向上陈述祖宗治家理国的美德，对下斥责今日兴利扰民的祸害。
使为国者每念稼穑之劳，而其后妃不忘织纴之事，则心不存者寡矣。 因上陈祖宗自家刑国之懿，下斥今日兴利扰民之害。
If the ruler constantly dwells on the hardship of farming, and the empress and imperial consorts do not forget about the task of weaving clothes, then there will be very few people who do not act with reverence. Thus, the virtues of the ancestors in governing the family and the state should be presented to the emperor, and the evils of seeking profit by harassing the people should be condemned.
