《搜神记·卷六》
汉哀帝建平三年，零陵郡有棵树倒在地上，围圆一丈六尺，长十丈七尺。老百姓锯断它的根，长九尺多，都枯干了。过了三个月，这棵树突然自己耸立在原来的地方。
哀帝建平三年，零陵有树僵地，围一丈六尺，长十丈七尺，民断其本，长九尺余，皆枯，三月，树卒自立故处。
In the third year of Emperor Ai's reign, a tree in Lingling county fell to the ground, with a circumference of 16 feet and a length of 17 feet. The common people sawed off its roots, which were more than nine feet long and withered away. Three months later, the tree suddenly stood up on its own in its original place.
