《宋书·志·卷十二》
又有一种说法，百代前的祖先其名字、谧号均被遗忘，坟墓也不再有铭刻的标记，飘荡的魂魄不能寄托于宗庙，这样就在年初的好子，建树华盖，飞扬彩旗，用来招引鬼神的精气，以便众祖先前来依靠，如此而已。
或云，百代远祖，名谥凋灭，坟茔不复存于铭表，游魂不得托于庙祧，故以初岁良辰，建华盖，扬彩旌，将以招灵爽，庶众祖之来凭云尔。
There is another saying that the names and posthumous titles of ancestors from a hundred generations ago are all forgotten, and there are no engraved marks on the tombs. The wandering souls cannot be placed in the ancestral temple, so at the beginning of the year, good children, build pavilions, and fly colorful flags, which are used to attract the spirits of gods and demons, so that all ancestors can come to rely on them, that's all.
