右魏肇膺王瑞遠叶冥符。慶集壽丘神照若水。九圍仁被四海威加。繼三皇之茂緒。纂五帝之徽蹤。高祖以藏聖御天徙京定鼎。世宗以叡明承業廓寧區夏。紹累聖之基。資則天之業。式觀乾象俯協人謀遠遵古式深知時事。考龜襲吉遷宅漳滏。再昌寶曆剋樹洪基。聖德重光。暨於九葉而受終。文祖運鍾靖帝。

As for the Northern Wei above, having first received the royal omens, they deeply harmonized with hidden tallies from afar. Auspicious fortune gathered at Shouqiu, and spiritual brilliance shone at the Ruo River. Their benevolence covered the nine regions, and their awe-inspiring power was imposed upon the four seas. Continuing the flourishing lineage of the Three Sovereigns, they inherited the splendid traces of the Five Thearchs. The High Ancestor, possessing sagely wisdom, governed Heaven, relocated the capital, and fixed the dynastic cauldrons; the World Predecessor, inheriting the enterprise with sagacity and brilliance, pacified and tranquilized the realm, carrying on the foundation of successive sages and relying on the enterprise that models Heaven. Respectfully observing celestial phenomena and below harmonizing with human counsel, he followed ancient models from afar and profoundly understood the affairs of the time. Consulting the tortoise shell and repeatedly finding good omens, he moved his seat to the Zhang and Fu rivers, rejuvenating the precious calendar and establishing a grand foundation. His sagely virtue shone anew, until the mandate was received at the end of nine reigns. The ancestral fortune of Wen settled upon Emperor Jing.
