❍ 岂可不察臧否，不择是非，欲草薙而禽狝之，能无乱乎？(《资治通鉴·唐纪·昭宗天复二年》)How can you make no dis tinction between what is good and what is bad,between what is right and what is wrong,and put all to death indiscriminately,thus bringing about chaos? 草薙禽狝cǎo tì qín xiǎn薙：指割草；狝：秋猎，杀戮。如同割草、猎捕禽兽一样杀戮、割掉。形容彻底根除；也比喻不加区别地全部杀掉。rooting out wild grass and killing beasts,make no discrimination but kill everyone |
