In winter, the eleventh month, the construction of the Wangqing Zhaoying Palace in the capital was completed. Begun in the fourth month of the second year of Dazhong Xiangfu, the work was finished in the eleventh month of this year, totaling 2,610 bays. Duke Ding of Jin (named Wei) served as Commissioner for Building the Palace; materials of wood, stone, gold, and lacquer were sought out from the finest across the empire. Shen Cunzhong's Brush Talks states: "The dwelling of the Venerable Nakula on Mount Yandang in Wenzhou was unseen by people of past generations; it was only because of gathering timber for Zhaoying that this realm was first revealed" (Hong Mai's Rongzhai sanbi).
