The Work Chua-hoei, of the kingdom Sung, says, that the emperor Ching-tsing-tai-ping, in his sixth year, eigth moon and eleventh day, made the following highly honourable title, which the people received with the most profound respect, "The great and exalted Sao-kiun:the origin of chaos; the supremely virtuous emperor."

The emperor Jin-tsung thus praised him:


 * How great is the supreme Tao!
 * Not made, yet existing,
 * The end of creations and annihiliations, and then beginning,
 * Before the earth, and before the heavens.
 * Light and glory unite around him,
 * Continuing for eternal creations and annihilations.
