《后汉书·本纪·皇后纪下》
顺帝永建三年，梁女内与她姑姑一同选入掖庭，时年十三。相工茅通见了梁女内，吃了一惊，再举手拜贺说： 这叫做日角偃月：前额中央隆起，形状如日；两眉弯弯如半月，是极贵的生相，我从来没有看见过的。 太史用龟甲占得寿房，又用蓍草占得坤卦之变化，比九五，居得其位，显示吉祥。
永建三年，与姑俱选入掖庭，时年十三，相工茅通见后，惊，再拜贺曰： 此所谓日角偃月，相之极贵，臣所未尝见也。 太史卜兆得寿房，又筮得《坤》之《比》，遂以为贵人。
In the third year of Yongjian in Shun Emperor, Liang Nu was selected into Yeting with her aunt when she was thirteen years old. When the fortune-teller Mao Tong saw Liang Nu, he was shocked and gave a salute: This is called the sun horn and the moon, the middle of the forehead is raised like the sun, and the two eyebrows are curved like the half moon, which is a precious look, I have never seen before. The historian used the tortoise shell to count for the longevity room, and used the yarrow to count for the changes of the Kun Gua, and compared it to Jiuwu and settled in its position, which is auspicious.
