時戶部侍郎、判度支韓滉上言：「河中鹽池生瑞鹽，實土德之上瑞。」 At that time Han Huang, Vice Minister of Revenue and commissioner of the treasury, memorialized: "The salt ponds of Hezhong have produced auspicious salt—truly a supreme omen of the virtue of Earth."

鎮奏與滉同，仍上表賀，請宣付史館，並請置神祠，錫其嘉號寶應靈慶池。 Zhen reported in agreement with Huang, still submitted a congratulatory memorial, asked that it be proclaimed to the History Office, and also asked to establish a spirit shrine, bestowing the honorable title Pool of Treasure Response and Spiritual Blessing.
