《陈书·本纪·卷一》
岭南的叛贼跋扈蛮横，湘、郢两地结交联盟，共同作乱，逭两地的贼军首领都已经被擒获，凶徒的头颅被斩下，传观示众。陈王因而能够统领百官，各种政务也都井井有条，四方迎宾之门，皆肃静恭谨，他的主张都能顺利地下达，再远的地方都能照拂，向上直达天穹，向下直到九泉，蛟龙大鱼都出现在这个太平盛世，歌咏之声不断。
岭南叛涣，湘、郢结连，贼帅既擒，凶渠传首，用能百揆时序，四门允穆，无思不服，无远不届，上达穹昊，下漏渊泉，蛟鱼并见，讴歌攸属。
The rebels in Lingnan were arrogant and domineering. Xiang and Ying joined forces and created chaos together. The leaders of the rebel armies in Aidi were both captured, and their heads were cut off and displayed to the public. As a result, King Chen was able to lead the officials, and all kinds of government affairs were well organized. The gates welcoming guests from all directions were solemn and respectful. His policies could be implemented smoothly and could extend far and wide—up to the heavens and down to the underworld. Dragons and giant fish appeared during this time of peace and prosperity, and songs of praise were heard everywhere.
