In the third year of the Jiaping era of Emperor Ling of the Han, in the Youhe auxiliary workshop, there were two tree-of-heaven trees, both four chi tall. Overnight, one of the trunks suddenly grew to over one zhang in length and one girth in thickness, forming the shape of a barbarian with head, eyes, sideburns, and hair completely provided. In the tenth month of the fifth year, in the workshop of the main palace, there were scholar trees, all sixty girths around, which uprooted themselves and stood inverted, with roots above and branches below. In the Hongjian hexagram, they are all wood, neither bent nor straight, but upright and balanced. Six or seven li northwest of Chang'an city, there was a hollow tree; inside it was a human face with growing sideburns.
