《汉书·传·王莽传下》
命侍中骠骑将军同说侯王林赐给鬼衣和印信，下策书说： 符命文辞说要立王临作统义阳王，这是说新朝开国三万六千年之后，作为王临的后代的人才会像潜龙飞腾一样兴起。
使侍中票骑将军同说侯林赐魂衣玺韨，策书曰： 符命文立临为统义阳王，此言新室即位三万六千岁后，为临之后者乃当龙阳而起。
The emperor ordered the imperial attendant and general of the flying cavalry, Tong Shuo Hou Wang Lin, to be given the ghost robe and the seal. The accompanying imperial edict said: The words of the talisman say that Wang Lin will be made King of Tongyi. This means that someone from the future descendants of Wang Lin will rise up like a hidden dragon soaring into the sky more than thirty-six thousand years after the founding of the Xin dynasty.
