又以五月十二日祭方丘日為寧貺節，既又以二月十五日太上混元上德皇帝降聖日為真元節，八月九日青華帝君生辰為元成節，正月四日有太祖神禦之州府宮殿行香為開基節，十月二十五日為天符節，皆如天慶節，著為令。 The twelfth day of the fifth month, the day of sacrifice at the square mound altar, was also made the Ningkuang Festival. Next the fifteenth day of the second month, the day the Supreme Emperor of Mixed Origin and Upper Virtue descended, was made the Zhenyuan Festival; the ninth day of the eighth month, the birthday of the Azure Flower Sovereign Lord, was made the Yuancheng Festival; the fourth day of the first month, when incense was offered at prefectural palaces housing Taizu’s spirit tablet, was made the Kaiji Festival; and the twenty-fifth day of the tenth month was made the Tianfu Festival—all like the Tianqing Festival and entered into statute.
