《北史·列传·卷二十九》
杨津便下令按公家的尺子度量百姓输纳的调绢，质量好的赏识一杯酒，质量差的也收下，但不让喝酒以显示对他的羞辱。
津乃令依公尺度其输物，尤好者赐以杯酒而出；其所输少劣者，为受之，但无酒以示其耻。
Yang Jin ordered that the silk for the tribute should be measured using the ruler in the public palace; those silk of good quality would be rewarded with a cup of wine, while those silk of bad quality would also be accepted but not rewarded with wine, to show his humiliation to the silk's owner.
