Its current was greatly swollen, so that across its channel from bank to bank one could not distinguish an ox from a horse. | | 《·》: | 化不时则不生，男女无辨则乱升 | | If these processes took place out of season, there would be no (vigorous) life; and if no distinction were observed between males and females, disorder would arise and grow |
