In the twelfth year of Emperor Wen of Han, a horse in Wu grew horns in front of its ears, pointing upward. The right horn was three inches long and the left two inches; both were two inches in girth. Liu Xiang held that a horse should no more grow horns than Wu should take up arms against its sovereign: this anomaly foretold Wu’s coming rebellion. Jing Fang’s Commentary on the Changes says: “When a minister holds his sovereign in contempt and government is out of order, the resulting portent is a horse growing horns. This signifies a lack of worthy men.” It also says: “When the Son of Heaven goes to war in person, horses grow horns.”
