Legalism -> Shang Jun Shu -> Order to Cultivate Waste Lands -> 6

If music and fine clothing do not penetrate to all the districts,
the people, when they are at work, will pay no attention to the latter,
and when they are at rest, will not listen to the former.
If, at rest, they do not listen to the one,
their spirits will not become licentious;
and if, at work, they pay no attention to the other,
their minds are concentrated.
If their minds are concentrated and their spirits not licentious,
then it is certain waste lands will be brought under cultivation.
