32.41

漢景帝元年九月。膠東下密人。年七十餘生角。角有毛生。故京房易傳曰。冡宰政闕妖人生角。五行志。以為人不當生角。猶諸侯不當舉兵向京師也。其後有七國之難起。

In the ninth month of the first year of Emperor Jing of the Han, a man from Xiami in Jiaodong, who was over seventy years old, grew horns, and the horns sprouted hair. Therefore, Jing Fang's Commentary on the Changes says: 'When the governance of the prime minister is deficient, anomalous humans grow horns.' The Treatise on the Five Phases considered that humans ought not to grow horns, just as the feudal lords ought not to take up arms against the capital. Afterward, the Rebellion of the Seven States arose.
