管子曰。涸澤數百歲。谷之不水不絕者。生慶忌。慶忌者其狀若人。長四寸。衣黃冠戴黃蓋乘小馬好疾游。以其名呼之。可使千里外。一名反報。然池陽之景。或者慶忌也乎。

The Guanzi states: 'When a dried-up marsh has lasted several hundred years, and within the valley water neither flows nor is exhausted, it produces the qingji. The qingji has the form of a human, four inches tall, dressed in a yellow cap, bearing a yellow canopy, riding a small horse, and fond of galloping swiftly. If one calls it by its name, it can be sent a thousand li away; another name for it is the fanbao.' Thus, might the apparition at Chiyang perhaps have been the qingji?
