《史记·十二本纪·高祖本纪》
父老们都说： 我们平时听到刘季许多奇异的事情，看来刘季是该显贵的。而且又经过占卜，没有比刘季更吉利的。 
诸父老皆曰： 平生所闻刘季诸珍怪，当贵，且卜筮之，莫如刘季最吉。 
The elders all said: We usually hear many strange things about Liu Ji. It seems that Liu Ji is the one who will become rich and noble. Moreover, after divination, there is no one more auspicious than Liu Ji.
