confiscated and burned by the provincial governor and army commander. Those who in conversation dare to
quote the old songs and records should be publicly executed; those who use old precedents [examples] to oppose
the new order should have their families wiped out; and officers who know of such cases but fail to report them
should be punished in the same way,
