《太平广记·卷三百六十·妖怪二》
对这件怪事，当时的人们议论说这是对谗毁他人的报应，也是朝庭衰败的预兆。果然不久陈后主投降，国家衰亡。
时论以谮毁之效，而陈渐微之征，后主竟降。
At the time, people said that this strange event was retribution for slandering others and a sign of the decline of the dynasty. Sure enough, it was not long before Emperor Chen surrendered, and the country perished.
