《淮南子·天文训》
如岁名叫摄提格的年份，雨水来得早，秋季又干旱，稻子有病害，养蚕没有收获，而豆类和麦类长得倒茂盛，百姓口粮有四升。
摄提格之岁，岁早水晚旱，稻疾，蚕不登，菽麦昌，民食四升。
If the year is named Sheti, the rain will come early, and the autumn will be dry. The rice had pests, and the silkworm had no harvest, but the beans and wheat grew so exuberantly that the people had four liters of food.
