In the fourth month of the second year of King Yin of Zhou, the ground in Qi suddenly rose along a stretch more than one zhang long, reaching a height of one chi and five cun. Jing Fang’s Portents of the Changes says: “When the ground suddenly rises, the omen depends on the season: in spring and summer it is generally auspicious; in autumn and winter, generally ominous.” The commandery of Liyang sank into the earth overnight and became a lake—the present Lake Ma. When this happened is unknown. The Pivot of the Revolving Dipper says: “When a town sinks, yin swallows yang, and those below slaughter one another.”
