《梁书·列传·卷五十六》
所以无论是以云名官以水为号的黄帝，还是以龙名官舆人爵位的伏羲，没有谁不向黄河、洛水祭拜水神，启求符瑞，没有谁不去泰山进行封桦大典，祭祀天地，驱使四方夷狄万国都来朝拜。
故乃云名水号之君，龙官人爵之后，莫不启符河、洛，封禅岱宗，奔走四夷，来朝万国。
"So whether it was the Yellow Emperor who named his officials after the clouds and used water as titles, or Fuxi who used the names of dragons for official positions and titles for men, none of them avoided sacrificing to the spirits of the Yellow River and the Luo River and imploring for omens. None of them ignored the seasonal sacrifices at Mount Tai or ceremonies to worship at Heaven and Earth to demand that all the barbarians and the myriad states of the eight directions should come to pay homage.
