《庄子·外篇·缮性》
文饰浮华毁坏了质朴之风，广博的俗学掩没了纯真的心灵，然后人民才开始迷惑和纷乱，没有什么办法返归本真而回复原始的情状。
文灭质，博溺心，然后民始惑乱，无以反其性情而复其初。
Extravagant embellishments destroyed the simple ways, and the verbose secular learnings obscured pure hearts; then people began to be bewildered and confused, with no way to return to the true and original state of affairs.
