《宋史·列传·卷二百零一》
所感到奇怪的，是朝廷看到这样大的灾异，却不修有缺陷的政事，以此来应对天戒，安定民心，而却默然不加以抚恤，好像没事情的时候一样；谏官、御史都没有听到有人上疏叙述灾害发生的原因，以开导皇帝的思想。
所怪者，朝廷见此大异，不修阙政，以厌天戒、安民心，默然不恤，如无事之时。谏官、御史不闻进牍铺白灾害之端，以开上心。
What is strange is that when the court sees such a great disaster, it does not repair its flawed political affairs, uses it to respond to the heavenly commandments, and stabilizes the people's hearts, but is silent and does not comfort it, as if it were when there is nothing wrong. The remonstrators and censors have not heard anyone report the cause of the disaster to open the emperor's mind.
