《汉书·传·眭两夏侯京翼李传》
以前春天三月时治理大的讼案，当时贼阴起来阻隔，恐怕会减少一年的收成；夏末举兵，当时天气寒冷与之相应，恐怕以后会有霜雹之灾；秋月裹实行封爵，那个月裹土气温湿，恐怕以后会有雷雹的灾变。
间者春三月治大狱，时贼阴立逆，恐岁小收；季夏举兵法，时寒气应，恐后有霜雹之灾；秋月行封爵，其月土湿奥，恐后有雷雹之变。
In the past, major lawsuits were handled in March of spring, when thieves emerged to block the way, fearing that the harvest would be reduced in the year; troops were mobilized in late summer, when the weather was cold, fearing that there would be frost and hail in the future; fiefdoms were implemented in the autumn month, which was humid and warm, fearing that there would be a disaster of thunder and hail in the future.
