《论衡·卷二十九·对作篇》
现在我写了《论死》及《死伪》这两篇文章，阐明人死无知不能变鬼的道理，希望读者会因此了解一点薄葬的意义，变得更为节俭。
今著《论死》及《死伪》之篇，明死无知，不能为鬼，冀观览者将一晓解约葬，更为节俭。
Now I have written "On Death" and "Falsehoods about Death" to clarify the principle that when a person dies they lose consciousness and do not turn into ghosts, hoping that readers will understand the significance of frugal burials and become more economical.
