《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪三十》
现在想要用丰富精美的食物来祭祀祖先，随便超越旧时规定下来的制度，那还有什么限度呢！《尚书》说： 祭祀时用的黍稷并没有香气，只有贤明的德行才能香气悠远。 
今欲取甘旨肥浓，皆充祭用，苟逾旧制，其何限焉！《书》曰： 黍稷非馨，明德惟馨。 
Now if you want to sacrifice exquisite food to your ancestors and wantonly exceed the old regulations, then what limits are there! The Book of Documents says: There is no fragrance from the millet and panicles of the sacrifices, only virtuous conduct can be fragrant and far-reaching.
