《礼记·表记》
孔子说: 祭牲、各种礼仪、乐舞以及黍稷等祭品，这些都适合于鬼神，鬼神降福，所以百姓也无怨。 
子曰： 牲牷礼乐齐盛，是以无害乎鬼神，无怨乎百姓。 
Confucius says: "Sacrifices, various ceremonies, music and dance, and millet and sacrificial animals — these are all appropriate for ghosts and spirits. Ghosts and spirits dispense blessings, and the people have no complaints."
