Close by the Sangu Temple dedicated to the silkworm deity in Daming a dragon was sighted, reclining on three cottages; the witnesses numbered several hundred. From the dragon’s scale and shell could be seen growing golden hair; in shape it was like a camel’s hump, its head rising like to equal great trees, and with its rotting fish smell none could approach. Having descended, it was tangled and could not rise, but after a long time cloud and mist gathered once more, and it then departed. This took place in the seventh or eighth month of the jiyou year.[1]

三姑廟龍見
大明蠶神三姑廟旁近龍見，橫卧三草舍上，觀者數百人。見龍鱗甲中出黃毛，其形如駝峯，頭與一大樹齊，腥臭不可近。既墮，夭矯不得上，良久雲霧復合，乃去。時己酉歲七八月間也。

[1] The jiyou year would be the forty-sixth year of the sixty-year cycle; in this case it could have been 1189 or 1249 CE; our compiler Yuan Haowen (1190-1257) would have been alive during the latter year.
