是以宣王龍飛于危周，光武鳳起於絕漢，斯蓋歷數大期，帝王之興廢也。 Therefore King Xuan of Zhou soared from perilous Zhou, Guangwu of Han rose from dying Han; these are the great cycles by which emperors rise and fall.

其青州刺史鞠仲曰：「陛下中興之聖後，少康、光武之儔也。」 His Qingzhou governor Ju Zhong said, 'Your Majesty is a sagely restorer of the middle revival, the peer of Shaokang and Guangwu.'
