《汉书·纪·高帝纪上》
沛县父老都说： 平日常闻刘季一些奇异之事，有可能成为贵人，我们曾问卜于神明，都说没有比刘季更合适的了。 
诸父老皆曰： 平生所闻刘季奇怪，当贵，且卜筮之，莫如刘季最吉。 
The elders of Pei County all said: We often hear about Liu Ji's strange things. It is possible to become a noble person. We have asked the gods, and they all say that there is no one more suitable than Liu Ji.
