《汉书·志·礼乐志》
所以说： 用礼乐来引导百姓，他们就会和睦，原先，叔孙通将要制定礼仪时，遭到齐地、鲁地读书人的非议，但最后还是成为汉朝儒生的宗师，功业流传后代，成为法典。 
故曰： 导之以礼乐，而民和睦。 初，叔孙通将制定礼仪，见非于齐、鲁之士，然卒为汉儒宗，业垂后嗣，斯成法也。 
Therefore it is said: Using rites and music to guide the people, they will become harmonious. At first, when Shusun Tong was about to establish the ritual system, he was criticized by the scholars of Qi and Lu, but in the end he became the master of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, and his achievements have been passed down to future generations as canons.
