周太祖廣順元年六月，敕侍御史盧億、刑部員外郎曹匪躬、大理正段濤同議定重寫法書一百四十八卷。 In the sixth month of the first year of Guangshun, Emperor Taizu of Zhou ordered Attending Censor Lu Yi, Vice Director of the Bureau of Punishments Cao Feigong, and Senior Rectifier Duan Tao of the Court of Judicial Review to deliberate together and rewrite the law books in one hundred and forty-eight scrolls.

〈（《宋史》：盧億，周初為侍御史，漢末兵亂，法書亡失，至是大理奏重寫律令格式、統類編敕，乃詔億與刑部員外曹匪躬、大理正段濤同加議定舊本，以京兆府改同五府，開封、大名府改同河南府，長安、萬年改為次赤縣，開封、浚儀、大名、元城改為赤縣，又定東京諸門薰風等為京城門，明德等為皇城門，啟運等為宮城門，升龍等為宮門，崇元等為殿門，廟諱書不成字，凡改點畫及義理之誤字二百一十有四。 (History of Song: Lu Yi served as Attending Censor in early Zhou. At the end of Han the law books were lost in the wars, and when the Court of Judicial Review memorialized for a rewrite of the statutes, ordinances, formats, comprehensive categories, and compiled edicts, the court ordered Yi, Vice Director Cao Feigong of the Bureau of Punishments, and Senior Rectifier Duan Tao to revise the old text together. Jingzhao Prefecture was raised to rank with the Five Prefectures; Kaifeng and Daming were made equivalent to Henan Prefecture; Chang'an and Wannian became secondary red counties and Kaifeng, Junyi, Daming, and Yuancheng became red counties. The gates of the Eastern Capital were classified—Xunfeng and the like as capital-city gates, Mingde as imperial-city gates, Qiyun as palace-city gates, Shenglong as palace gates, and Chongyuan as hall gates. Taboo forms for temple names were written incompletely. In all, two hundred and fourteen mistaken characters in form or meaning were corrected.
