四年，芝菌生宮中，野獸觸寢門，苑中羊吐珠，井旁石自立，行百餘步而仆，樊胡子皆以符瑞諷群臣入賀。 In the fourth year fungus grew in the palace, wild beasts struck the bedchamber gate, a sheep in the park spat pearls, and a stone beside a well stood upright and walked more than a hundred paces before falling — Fan Huzi took all these as auspicious signs and urged the ministers to enter with congratulations.
