《后汉书·列传·荀韩钟陈列传》
百姓上下看到了利害关系自己，所以思想上战战兢兢，行为上谨慎检点，内心不迷惑，对外界也不存非分的想法，这样，百姓的心平正了，这叫正俗。
百姓上下睹利害之存乎己也，故肃恭其心，慎修其行，内不回惑，外无异望，则民志平矣。是谓正俗。
The people, up and down, see the pros and cons for themselves, so they are cautious and self-disciplined in their thoughts and actions, not confused in their hearts, and do not have undue thoughts about the outside world. In this way, the people's hearts are upright, which is called correcting customs.
