[...] If, on the first lunar day after new moon, both horns should be alike and of equal height, there will be the same prosperity and rain throughout the month as on such first lunar day. If the moon should appear like a rod [i.e., 诲补峁囜笉补惫补迟], the cattle will suffer and the sovereign will rule with a severe rod鈥�.
