每岁京尹出浙江亭教阅水军，艨艟数百，分列两岸，既而尽奔腾分合五阵之势，并有乘骑弄旗、标枪舞刀于水面者，如履平地。 - From: c. 1280s, Zhou Mi, Reminiscences of Wulin
- Měi suì Jīngyǐn chū Zhèjiāng-tíng jiàoyuè shuǐjūn, méngchōng shù bǎi, fēnliè liǎng'àn, jì'ér jìn bēnténg fēnhé wǔ zhèn zhī shì, bìng yǒu chéng jì nòng qí, biāoqiāng wǔdāo yú shuǐmiàn zhě, rúlǚpíngdì.
- As in every year, the governor of the capital appeared at the Che River Pavilion to inspect the navy. Warships in the hundreds were arrayed along both banks. Suddenly, they all rushed to divide into “quintuple formation.” Moreover, there was equitation, banner waving, spear juggling, and sword dancing while afloat, just as on land.
