《周书·列传·卷二十三》
使百姓勤勉不倦，心中的想法趋向善，邪恶虚伪的念头，贪得无厌的习性都暗暗消失，而不知道出现这种情形的原因，造就叫做感化。
使百姓亹亹，中迁于善，邪伪之心，嗜欲之性，潜以消化，而不知其所以然，此之谓化也。
To motivate a people to be devoted to their toil, to attain an individual sensibility based on the quality of good intentions, to subconsciously abandon evil intentions and to be unaware of the reasons for this new conduct, this is called inspiration.
