《晋书·志·第十一章》
明帝共去东部巡视三次，在路过的地方慰问老人，救济贫困，有时赏赐谷物丝帛，有古代帝王巡视时的风范。
明帝凡三东巡狩，所过存问高年，恤疾苦，或赐谷帛，有古巡幸之风焉。
Emperor Ming went on three inspection tours in the east. He visited the elder citizens and the poor as he traveled, and sometimes gave gifts of grain and silk. His tours resembled similar expiditions in ancient times.
