《太誓》曰：『我武惟揚，侵于之疆，則取于殘，殺伐用張，于湯有光。』 (In the Great Declaration it is said, "My power shall be put forth, and, invading the territories of Shang, I will seize the oppressor. I will put him to death to punish him - so shall the greatness of my work appear, more glorious than that of Tang.") [ Mencius, c. 4ᵗʰ century BCE]
