蔡邕，诏问有黑气堕温明殿东庭中，如车盖，腾起奋迅，五色，有头，体长十馀丈，形似龙，似虹霓。邕对：“虹著于天，而降施于庭，以臣所闻，则所谓天投霓者也。” |
| | Cai Yong, the imperial edict asked about a black vapor that fell in the eastern courtyard of Wenming Palace. It was like a carriage canopy, rising up and moving vigorously, displaying five colors, with a head; its body was more than ten zhang long, shaped like a dragon or a rainbow. Yong replied: "Rainbows appear in the sky, but now one has descended into the courtyard. According to what I have heard, this is called 'tian tou ni,' a rainbow cast down from heaven."

| | 蔡邕: |
虹昼见御座殿庭前，色青赤。上引邕问之，对曰：“虹霓，小女子之祥。” |
| | A rainbow appeared in daylight before the courtyard of Yizuodian. Its color was blue and red. The emperor summoned Yong to ask about it, and he replied: "Rainbows are omens of minor female figures."

| | 蔡邕: |
蔡邕徙朔方，上书求还，续成十志。 |
| | Cai Yong was transferred to Suofang. He submitted a memorial requesting his return, and continued completing the Ten Records (Shizhi).
