During the reigns of Emperors Hui and Huai of the Jin, in the capital Luoyang, there was a person whose single body had both male and female forms. This person could engage in relations as both and was especially fond of licentiousness. The military turmoil under heaven arose because the qi of male and female were confused and monstrous forms were produced. During the Restoration era, there was also a woman whose genitals were on her belly, living in Yangzhou; she was also by nature fond of lust. Therefore, Jing Fang's Changes says: 'If an anomalous human gives birth to a child with genitals on the head, the world will be in great chaos. If on the belly, the world will face disturbances. If on the back, the world will be without descendants.'
