According to historical records, when Zhao Kuangyin was frustrated, he went north to Guo Wei, passed by the Mausoleum, and drew lots to ask if there was a destiny. Later, as expected, he made his fortune in Shangqiu and became an envoy back to Germany. After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, Shangqiu was named "Song" because it was the Song State of the Western Zhou Dynasty and also the later Song State.
After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he never forgot to draw lots at the Temple of Di Ku to ask about divination. Therefore, in the sixth year of Kaibao (973), he ordered the repair of Di Ku Mausoleum.
