疏語(啟建)右伏以 覆燾無私。乾坤孰測其高厚 照臨有赫。日月莫喻其光華。知 贊仰之徒勞。欲 補報而無極。惟託鈞陶之內。義重 四恩。故竭 忠愛之心。虔恭 三祝。斗樞電繞龍象筵開。帝網百億山河咸歸 聖量。華藏三千世界益衍 丕圖。少盡涓埃。匪懈朝夕。欽願 蘷龍登用 景星耀而泰階平 麟鳳呈祥 聖人作而萬物覩。謹疏 (滿散)優鉢羅花瑞世 同佛降生 閻浮提樹連陰。與天齊壽。故 毓夙成之 睿質。克 承丕顯之 聖謨 大哉乾至哉乾 體乾居正 會其極歸其極 建極立中。爰以 吾道之大同。有裨 聖時之至治。山林鐘鼓樂 化日之舒長。草木昆蟲被 膏澤之滲漉 祥開震夙 頌祝華封。欽願 垂拱無為。天地位而萬物育 鈞陶有象。陰陽理而四時平 壽考萬年 本支百世。

Words of the Memorial (for Inauguration): We respectfully submit that heaven and earth shelter and support without partiality—who can measure their height and depth? The sun and moon shine forth with majestic brilliance—what can illustrate their radiant splendor? We know that praise and veneration are in vain, and our desire to repay is limitless. Yet dwelling within the sovereign's moulding and transformation, the duty toward the four kindnesses weighs heavy; hence, exhausting our heart of loyalty and love, we devoutly offer the three wishes for longevity. The constellation of the Northern Dipper circles with lightning as the seats of dragons and elephants open; the hundreds of millions of mountains and rivers in Indra's net all submit to the imperial discernment; the three thousand worlds of the Lotus Treasury ever expand the imperial realm. Humbly offering our minute speck of dust, untiring day and night, we reverently pray: May the worthy ministers Kui and Long be employed; may the auspicious star shine and the steps of the imperial platform be level; may the qilin and phoenix display their omens; may the sage arise and all beings behold him. Respectfully memorialized. (For Conclusion:) The utpala flower graces the world with auspiciousness, coinciding with the Buddha's descent into birth; the jambu tree spreads its continuous shade, rivaling heaven in longevity. Thus was endowed the sage quality perfected from early years, able to inherit the illustrious imperial designs. Great indeed is Qian! Supreme indeed is Qian! Embodying Qian and abiding in rectitude, converging all extremes and returning to the utmost, establishing the standard and founding the center. Thereupon, through the great unity of our Way, we contribute to the supreme governance of this sage era. The bells and drums of the mountain forests rejoice in the genial expanse of the transforming sun; the grasses, trees, insects, and creatures receive the soaking nourishment of rich dew. Good omens dawn from the east; congratulations and prayers are offered at Huafeng. We reverently pray: May the Emperor rule through non-action with robe hanging loose and hands folded, so that heaven and earth hold their places and all things flourish; may the Great Potter's craft have form, so that yin and yang are ordered and the four seasons balanced; may his longevity endure for ten thousand years, and his imperial lineage flourish for a hundred generations.
