《韩非子·饰邪》
开始时候，魏国几年间向东全部攻下了陶、卫，又有几年向西攻秦却丧失了许多国土，这不是丰隆、五行、太一、王相、摄提、六神、五括、天河、殷抢、岁星等吉、星有几年都处在西方，又不是天缺、弧逆、刑星、荧惑、奎台等凶星几年都处在东方。
初时者，魏数年东乡攻尽陶、卫，数年西乡以失其国，此非丰隆、五行、太一、王相、摄提、六神、五括、天河、殷抢、岁星非数年在西也，又非天缺、弧逆、刑星、荧惑、奎台非数年在东也。
At the beginning, in a few years, Wei attacked Tao and Wei in its east and conquered all of them; in another few years it attacked Qin in the west but lost many lands. This was not because Fenglong, Five Elements, Taiyi, Wangxiang, Sheti, Six Gods, Five Kuai, Tianhe, Yin Qiang, Sui Xing, etc. were all in the west for several years, or that Tianque, Huhui, Xingxing, Yinghuo, Kuitao, etc. were all in the east for several years.
