《论衡·卷十·非韩篇》
奖赏与惩罚不能进行，那么是好事还是坏事也不能确定。没有确定的事情，需要有一套办法才能确定它，那想靠耳朵听到的情况就进行奖赏与惩罚，是不对的。
赏罚未加，善恶未定，未定之事，须术乃立，则欲耳闻之，非也。
When it can’t be rewarded or punished, one can’t ascertain whether it was good or bad news. What hasn’t been ascertained requires a method to ascertain. It’s wrong to reward and punish based on what’s heard.
