《旧五代史·其它·僭伪列传二》
城中缺粮，一斗米价值三万，人首一级也值十千，军士吃人，百姓吃粘土，驴马相遇时，互相吃鬃毛和尾毛，士人出门，大多被骁勇的人屠杀。
城中乏食，米斗直三万，人首一级亦直十千，军士食人，百姓食墐土，驴马相遇，食其鬃尾，士人出入，多为强者屠杀。
There was a severe shortage of food in the city; a bushel of rice was worth 30,000 yuan, and an average human head was worth 10,000. The soldiers resorted to cannibalism, and the common people resorted to eating soil. When mules or horses met, they would chew each other's manes and tails, and when gentlemen went out, they were likely to be slaughtered by violent men.
