《汉书·传·董仲舒传》
由此看来，天子和大夫，是人民仰望、效法的榜样，是远方的人遥望着模仿他们，怎么能够处在贤人的地位却去做出平民的行为呢？
近者视而放之，远者望而效之，岂可以居贤人之位而为庶人行哉！
From this perspective, the emperor and high-ranking officials are role models that the people look up to and emulate; distant people look to them and imitate them, so how can they occupy the positions of sages but act like commoners?
