In the fifth year of King Wen of Qin, while traveling in Juyan, someone presented a five-legged ox. At that time, the Qin regime was draining the people's labor. The Yi Zhuan by Jing Fang states: 'When corvée labor is levied excessively and robs the people of their seasons, the anomaly is an ox growing five legs.'
