五行傳曰：「治宮室，飾臺榭，內淫亂，犯親戚，侮父兄，則稼穡不成。」謂土失其性而為災也。又曰：「思心不容，是謂不聖。厥咎霿，厥罰恆風，厥極凶短折。時則有脂夜之妖，時則有華孽，時則有牛禍，時則有心腹之痾，時則有黃眚、黃祥，惟金、水、木、火沴土。」華孽，劉歆傳為蠃蟲之孽，謂螟屬也。
The Commentary on the Five Elements states: "If one builds palaces and adorns terraces and pavilions, indulges in internal licentiousness, offends relatives, and shows disrespect to fathers and elder brothers, then crops will not mature." This refers to the earth element losing its proper nature and thus causing a disaster. It also says: "If one's mind is not receptive, this is called being unwise." Its fault is confusion; its punishment is constant wind; its extreme consequence is misfortune and premature death. At such times, there will be the omen of nocturnal fat; at such times, there will be floral calamities; at such times, there will occur disasters involving cattle; at such times, ailments in the heart and abdomen will arise; at such times, yellow omens and yellow portents will appear. This is when metal, water, wood, and fire disrupt the earth." The "flower calamity" (hua nie), according to the biography of Liu Xin, is a disaster caused by soft-bodied creatures, referring to locusts.

On the Guisi day of April in the second year Jianning during Emperor Ling's reign, a violent wind and hailstorm struck the capital; more than one hundred trees with trunks ten zhi in circumference were uprooted along the suburban roads. After that, when the emperor was about to conduct a ceremony at Huangjiao in the morning, he traveled along the western bridge of Luoshui River. Suddenly, a violent storm struck; some of the ceremonial vehicles lost their canopies, officials were drenched by rain, and they returned without reaching the sacrificial site. The ritual was then carried out by appointed officials instead. The ceremony at the western suburbs also proceeded in this manner.

92 五行四:
明帝永平十八年，牛疫死。是歲遣竇固等征西域，置都護、戊己校尉。固等適還而西域叛，殺都護陳睦、戊己校尉關寵。於是大怒，欲復發興討，會秋明帝崩，是思心不容也。
In the eighteenth year Yongping during Emperor Ming's reign, cattle died from an epidemic. That year, Dou Gu and others were sent to campaign in the Western Regions; they established posts for the Du Hu (Protector General) and Wuji Jiao Wei (Wuji Commandant). Just as Dou Gu and others returned, the Western Regions rebelled, killing Du Hu Chen Mu and Wuji Jiao Wei Guan Chong. The emperor was greatly angered and wanted to launch another campaign, but coincidentally Emperor Ming died in autumn; this was a matter of sorrow too great to bear.

93 五行四:
章帝建初四年冬，京都牛大疫。是時竇皇后以宋貴人子為太子，寵幸，令人求伺貴人過隙，以讒毀之。章帝不知竇太后不善，厥咎霿也。或曰，是年六月馬太后崩，土功非時興故也。
In winter of the fourth year Jianchu during Emperor Zhang's reign, cattle were struck by an epidemic in the capital. At that time, Empress Dou had Emperor Zhang name a son of Lady Song as crown prince and favored him; she ordered people to search for faults in Lady Song so that she could slander her. Emperor Zhang did not know of Empress Dowager Dou's wickedness; this was an error caused by ignorance and confusion. Some say that in June of this year, Empress Dowager Ma died, so earthworks were carried out at an inappropriate time.
