法苑珠林 32.41

32.41

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.
