《太平广记·卷四百八十一·蛮夷二》
龟兹国每年都在正月初一那天举行斗羊、斗马、斗驼的活动。共进行七天，看谁胜谁负，以此推测一年中羊马损耗或繁衍增殖的情况。
龟兹，元日斗羊马驼，为戏七日，观胜负，以占一年羊马减耗繁息也。
Every year on the first day of the first lunar month, Kucha held an event to fight rams, horses, and camels. The event lasted seven days, and whoever won or lost was used to predict whether the sheep and horses would suffer losses or reproduce and increase in the year.
