《尚书·周书·康王之诰》
今天，我同姓的伯父们会聚于此，希望大家能够彼此惠顾先王之好，安置好你们前辈中那些全心全意服从于先王的老臣，虽然你们身在王畿之外，但你们的心随时随地都要向着王室，以赤子之心拥戴天子、体恤百姓而安顺其道，不可让我这个幼小的君主蒙羞！ 
今予一二伯父尚胥暨顾，绥尔先公之臣服于先王。虽尔身在外，乃心罔不在王室，用奉恤厥若，无遗鞠子羞！ 
Today, I, your younger paternal uncle, am gathered here with you and I hope that you will all look upon each other as the former kings did and comfort and secure your old ministers who served the former rulers faithfully. Though you now live away from the royal city, you must never forget your loyalty to it, and should strive to honor and love the Son of Heaven with the same heart as a nursing child, and protect the people while following the correct path. As for me, your young ruler, I only ask that you not bring shame upon me!"
