Baike's gloss and vernacular tl makes the omens seem more like, of their good fortune
Tang is the founder of the Shang dynasty. From the vernacular tl, the implication is more that he was born at the right time
The rank-tokens are glossed as some say jade artifacts, small ones two chi, big three chi, some say a homonym for 'law'. The vernacular tl uses jade tablet (ceremonial badge of rank)
