乙巳二十五年　龍鳳十一　天統三年　二月日旁有一月一星　四月日中有一黑子　五月大都雨𣮖。長尺許。或曰龍鬚也。命拾而祀之　冬太祖置國子學於應天府。規製宏麗行。至廣業堂前偶發一言云。天下有福兒郎。應得居此。迄今居此者。往往古魁選。躋位三台者焉。

The twenty-fifth year, yisi; the eleventh year of Longfeng; the third year of Tiantong. In the second month, beside the sun there was a moon and a star. In the fourth month, within the sun there was a black spot. In the fifth month, in Dadu it rained mane-hairs, about a foot long; some said they were dragon's whiskers. An order was given to gather and sacrifice to them. In the winter, Taizu established the Directorate of Education in Yingtian Prefecture. Its scale and construction were grand and beautiful. Walking before the Hall of Vast Undertakings (Guangyetang), he casually uttered a phrase: "The fortunate lads of the realm should come to dwell here!" Down to the present, those who dwell here have frequently been the first-rank candidates of old, ascending to the ranks of the Three Excellencies.
