《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪二十五》
收嗣立上疏认为： 近年来修建的寺院太多了，而且刻意追求高大华丽，大的工程要耗资一千万钱以上，这使得百姓疲困，怨声载道。
韦嗣立上疏，以为： 比者造寺极多，务取崇丽，大则用钱百数十万，小则三五万，无虑所费千万以上，人力劳弊，怨嗟盈路。
Shou Sili wrote in his memorial: In recent years, there have been too many temples built, and they are deliberately pursuing grandeur and magnificence. Large projects cost more than 10 million yuan, which exhausts the people and causes complaints.
