《晋书·志·第二十章》
现在就时世的敦朴而言，比不上中古，但是主持评议的人想要适从人的感情之所安，寄托于通过议事做出裁夺。
今论时敦朴，不及中古，而执平者欲适情之所安，自托于议事以制。
As for the simplicity of the times, it is not as good as that of the Middle Ages, but the presiding judge wants to conform to people's emotional comfort and place his hope in making decisions through deliberations.
