Qilin entered the royal parks, divine phoenixes roosted in the wutong trees, red sparrows, patterned tortoises, dark crows, and white deer—auspicious omens arrived in abundance, and the myriad people rejoiced together. He extended vast and boundless benevolence, and spread favors that reached heaven and seeped into springs. Works like the Lunheng all state that the auspicious omens of the Later Han were not inferior to those of the Zhou and Xia.
