《搜神记·卷七》
这不是一家一户的灾难，而是国家将有战乱发生，整个郡都要毁灭啊！ 张骋回到家里，牛又象人一样站起来行走，百姓都来围观。那年秋天，张昌起兵造反，先占据了江夏郡，欺骗迷惑老百姓。说什么因为汉朝的国统又要兴盛了，所以有凤凰来临的吉兆，圣人将要当道。
其秋张昌贼起。先略江夏，诳曜百姓，以汉祚复兴，有凤凰之瑞，圣人当世。
This was not a family disaster; it was a national disaster, and the entire county was to be destroyed! When Zhang Cheng returned home, the ox stood up and walked around like a person, and the common people came to watch. In that autumn, Zhang Chang launched a rebellion, first occupying Jiangxia County and deceiving the common people. He talked about the Han dynasty's chance to thrive and the auspicious sign of phoenixes, and the saints were about to come to power.
