In March, two junior levels of the nobility were bestowed upon officials of feudal lords and one junior level to common people because of the recurring auspicious omens of the phoenix and sweet dew. Every hundred households’ women were bestowed some beef and alcohol; and the widowed, the widowed-and-childless, the lonely and the elderly were bestowed some silk.
