周隱王二年四月。齊地暴長。長丈餘。高一尺五寸。京房易妖曰。地長四時暴占。春夏多吉。秋冬多凶。歷陽之郡一夕淪入地中而為澤水。今麻湖是也。不知何時。運升樞曰。邑之論陰吞陽不相屠。

In the fourth month of the second year of King Yin of Zhou, the ground of Qi suddenly expanded, more than one zhang in length and one chi and five cun in height. Jing Fang's Yiyao states: "For sudden expansions of the ground during the four seasons, divinations for spring and summer are mostly auspicious, while autumn and winter are mostly ominous." In one night, the commandery of Liyang sank into the earth and became a marsh of water, which is present-day Lake Ma; it is unknown when this occurred. The Yunshengshu states: "When a city is discussed, yin swallows yang without mutually slaughtering."
