《宋史·列传·卷一百六十》
刘宰在他座位的右面写着： 不要轻易发布文引，不要轻易使用杖刑。 刘宰因事出城到郊外，他与手下人吃一样的饭菜、喝一样的水。
迁丞，转对，所言帝喜之，曰： 君臣一体，初不在事形迹，有所见闻，于银台司缴奏。 擢监察御史。
Liu Zai wrote on the right side of his seat: Do not issue documents easily, do not use corporal punishment easily. When Liu Zai went out to the suburbs on official business, he ate the same meals and drank the same water as his subordinates.
