其後得寶符於桃林，於是陝縣尉崔成甫更得体歌為得寶弘農野。 When a treasure talisman was found at Taolin, Shan county aide Cui Chengfu rewrote the refrain as 'Treasure found in the Hongnong wilds.'

成甫又廣之為歌辭十闋，自衣缺後綠衣、錦半臂、紅抹額，立第一船為號頭以唱，集兩縣婦女百餘人，鮮服靚粧，鳴鼓吹笛以和之。 Chengfu expanded it to ten stanzas, stood on the lead boat in green robe, brocade half-sleeves, and red forehead cloth to lead the chorus, and assembled over a hundred women from two counties in bright dress with drums, pipes, and flutes.
