《晋书·志·第十七章》
前一年选取良家子女，不戴面饰入殿，武帝亲自观看挑选，衹注重姿色，不过问德行，有藏匿的以大不敬论罪，士大夫忧愁怨愤，天下责难此事，这是阴盛的应兆。
去年采择良家子女，露面入殿，帝亲简阅，务在姿色，不访德行，有蔽匿者以不敬论，搢绅愁怨，天下非之，阴盛之应也。
The previous year, good children were selected, they did not wear veil into the hall, Emperor Wu watched and selected them in person, he only paid attention to the appearance, not to the virtue, those who hid were accused of disrespect, the scholars were worried and resentful, the world blamed him for this, which was the sign of the prosperity of yin.
