51 月令:
天子居明堂右个,乘朱路,駕赤騮,載赤旗,衣朱衣,服赤玉。食菽與雞,其器高以粗。命漁師伐蛟取鼉,登龜取黿。命澤人納材葦。
Yue Ling:
The son of Heaven occupies the apartment on the right of the Ming Thang (Fane); rides in the vermilion carriage, drawn by the red horses with black tails, and bearing the red flag. He is dressed in the red robes, and wears the carnation gems. He eats beans and fowls. The vessels which he uses are tall, (to resemble) the large growth (of things). Orders are given to the master of the Fishermen to attack the alligator, to take the gavial, to present the tortoise, and to take the great turtle. Orders are given to the superintendent of the Meres to collect and send in the rushes available for use.
