《后汉书·列传·郭陈列传》
应该令三公、廷尉平定律令，应经合义的，可使大辟二百，而耐罪、赎罪二千八百，并为三千，全部删除其余令，与礼相应，来改变万人的视听，以致得到刑措不用之美誉，传之无穷的后代。 
宜令三公、廷尉平定律令，应经合义者，可使大辟二百，而耐罪、赎罪二千八百，并为三千，悉删除其余令，与礼相应，以易万人视听，以致刑措之美，传之无穷。
It should be ordered that the Three Dukes and Ting Wei rectify the laws and regulations. According to the meaning of the scriptures, there should be 200 capital crimes, 2800 crimes punishable by forced labor and fines or lesser penalties, for a total of 3000. All other laws should be abolished, and the laws should conform to rituals in order to change the way people see and hear things, so that the reputation of not using刑措 will be passed down to future generations.
