《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪四十一》
邓太后认为樊准的意见很对，予以采纳，下诏说： 三公、九卿和中二千石官员，要各自举荐隐士、大儒；被举荐者务必具有高尚的德行，以劝导晚生后进。从中精选博士，一定可以得到适当的人选。 
太后深纳其言，诏： 公、卿、中二千石各举隐士、大儒，务取高行，以劝后进，妙简博士，必得其人。 
Empress Dowager Deng believed that Fan Zhu's opinion was very correct, and adopted it, and issued an edict saying: The Three Excellencies, Nine Ministers and officials of Zhong Erqian Shi, must each recommend hermits and great Confucians; those recommended must have noble morals, to persuade those born later. Doctors will be selected from among them, and it will definitely be possible to find suitable candidates.
