世祖命太保秉忠選太史官屬，德進以選授天文、星曆、卜筮三科管勾，凡交蝕躔次、六氣侵沴，所言休咎輒應。 Kublai ordered Liu Bingzhong to select staff for the Directorate of Astronomy. Dejin was chosen and made superintendent of its three divisions — astronomy, calendrics, and divination. Whether predicting eclipses, planetary movements, or atmospheric disturbances, his forecasts of fortune and misfortune invariably proved correct.
