八年，禮部侍郎張邦昌奏：“太祖時，甘露降於江陵者十日，瑞麥秀於濮陽者六歧，獲金鸚鵡於隴坻，得三玉兔於鄆封，馴象至而五嶺平，瓊管族而白鹿出，皆命製為旗章陳之。 In the eighth year of Zhenghe, Vice Minister of Rites Zhang Bangchang memorialized: "In the time of Emperor Taizu, sweet dew fell at Jiangling for ten days, auspicious wheat with six ears appeared at Puyang, a golden parrot was captured on the Long Plateau, three jade rabbits were obtained at Yun Prefecture, tame elephants arrived when the Five Ridges were pacified, and a white deer appeared when the tribes of Qiongguan submitted. All of these were ordered made into flags and displayed.
