《史记·七十列传·循吏列传》
百姓各有便利的谋生之路，都生活得很安乐。庄王认为楚国原有的钱币太轻，就下令把小钱改铸为大钱，百姓用起来很不方便，纷纷放弃了自己的本业。
庄王以为币轻，更以小为大，百姓不便，皆去其业。
The people have a convenient way of making a living, and they live very happily. King Zhuang thought that the original currency of Chu was too light, so he ordered the small money to be re-cast into large money, which was very inconvenient for the people to use, and they all gave up their own business.
