《论衡·卷二十一·死伪篇》
然而秦朝被坑杀的儒生，不向上天请求惩罚秦始皇，也不现形为鬼，召集并告诉活着的儒生说秦始皇无道，李斯不贤。
然则秦之死儒，不请於帝，见形为鬼，会告以始皇无道，李斯无状。
However, the Confucian scholars who were killed by the Qin Dynasty did not ask the heavens to punish Qin Shi Huang, nor did they reveal themselves as ghosts to summon and tell the living Confucian scholars that the Qin Shi Huang was unrighteous and that Li Si was unworthy.
