《墨子·31章 明鬼(下)》
所以说：官府置备供具，必定以祭品祭服为先，使尽藏于府库之中，太祝、太宗等官吏都于朝廷就位，选为祭品的牲畜不跟昔日的畜群关在一起。
故曰：官府选效，必先祭器、祭服毕藏于府，祝宗有司毕立于朝，牺牲不与昔聚群。
Thus, it is said that: when the government office was setting up implements, it was sure to prioritise the sacrificial offerings and ritual attire, so that they could be stored in the treasury, with priests and clan leaders taking up their positions at court, and the animals chosen as sacrificial offerings not being kept with the ordinary animals.
