宋人制诰章表,四六骈俪,多用经书句,谓之天生自然对,如"天维显思,民亦劳止","惟女一德,于今三年","有能奋庸,爰立作相","行此四德,弼予一人","文王之德之纯,周公之才之美","皇极锡五福,大臣虑四方","闲暇而明政刑,会通以行典礼","礼乐自天子出,笾豆则有司存","於缉熙单厥心,念终始典于学","欣欣然有喜色,荡荡乎无能名","睦族以和万邦,明伦以察庶物","率百官若帝之初,于万年受天之祜","发号施令罔不臧,陈善闭邪谓之敬","知微知彰,不俟终日;有严有翼,以奏肤公","上帝临而无贰无虞,三事就而不留不处","闻俎豆未学军旅之事,听鼓鼙则思将帅之臣"."兵于五材,谁能去之;臣无二心,天之制也","亶聪明而有作,不作聪明;由仁义以安行,非行仁义","玉帛万国,干舞已格于七旬;箫韶九成,肉味遽忘于三月","夙夜浚明,人则宣其三德;文武是宪,出则揉此万邦","五百里采,五百里卫,外包有截之区;八千岁春,八千岁秋,上祝无疆之寿",皆脍炙人口。至于诗句,如"公独未知其趣耳,臣今时复一中之"、"我觉魏徵真妩媚,人言卢杞是奸邪"、"天之未丧斯文也,我独何为不豫哉"、"何以报之青玉案,我姑酌彼黄金罍",此则可资一笑尔。
