《明史·志·卷七十》
古人制定刑法用来防治邪恶，保护良善，所以唐、虞之世，只是在犯法者衣冠上画图或让其换穿特制的服装，民众就不去犯法了。
古人制刑以防恶卫善，故唐、虞画衣冠、异章服以为戮，而民不犯。
Ancient people developed criminal law to prevent and treat evil and protect the good, that is why during the reign of Tang and Yu, they only needed to draw pictures on or make the offender change into special clothes, and the people did not commit crimes.
