《明史·列传·卷一百七十》
汉文帝崩，遗诏减少服丧期间，是为天下臣民着想，但景帝即位自己却不按制守孝三年，从而使千古纲常遭到破坏。
汉文帝遗诏短丧，止欲便天下臣民，景帝遂自行之，使千古纲常一坠不振。
When Emperor Wen of Han died, his last edict was to reduce the mourning period, which was intended for the sake of the subjects and citizens of the empire, but after Emperor Jing ascended to the throne, he did not observe the customary three-year mourning period himself, thus breaking the ancient rules of morality and ethics.
