《三国志·魏书·钟繇华歆王朗传》
三公商议： 推举孝廉，本来是以德行为准则，不再用考试经书来限制。 华歆认为 天下大乱以来，六经被荒废，应当尽快保存帮助，以推崇王道。
三府议： 举孝廉，本以德行，不复限以试经。 歆以为 丧乱以来，六籍堕废，当务存立，以崇王道。
The Three Excellencies discussed: recommending the Filial and Incorrupt, should be based on moral character as the criterion, no longer to restrict it to examining classics. Hua Xin believed that since the great chaos in the world, the Six Classics had been neglected, we should help to preserve them as soon as possible, so as to uphold the Kingly Way.
