《论衡·卷十八·感类篇》
古文经学家则认为武王死后，周公代成王执政，管叔、蔡叔散布流言，成王心里怀疑周公，周公出奔到楚国，所以上天降下雷雨，以使周成王醒悟。
古文家以武王崩，周公居摄，管、蔡流言，王意狐疑周公，周公奔楚，故天雷雨，以悟成王。
Ancient Confucianists believed that after King Wu died, Duke Zhou took over the regency for King Cheng, and Guan Shu and Cai Shu spread rumors. King Cheng doubted Duke Zhou in his heart, and Duke Zhou fled to the State of Chu. Therefore, God sent down a storm to make King Cheng of Zhou wake up.
