14 月令:
是月也,玄鸟至。至之日,以大牢祠于高禖。天子亲往,后妃帅九嫔御。乃礼天子所御,带以弓韣,授以弓矢,于高禖之前。
Yue Ling:
In this month the swallow makes its appearance. On the day of its arrival, the son of Heaven sacrifices to the first match-maker with a bull, a ram, and a boar. He goes to do so in person, with his queen and help-mates, attended by his nine ladies of honour. Peculiar courtesy is shown to those whom he has (lately) approached. Bow-cases have been brought, and a bow and arrows are given to each before (the altar of) the first match-maker.
