From the Northern Wei Dynasty's Li Daoyuan's Commentary on the Water Classic, Mianshui River (北魏 [bei wei].酈道元 [li dao yuan]《水經注 [shui jing zhu].沔水注 [mian shui zhu]》): "King Hui of Qin (秦惠王 [qin hui wang]) wanted to attack Shu (蜀 [shu]), but did not know the way. He made five stone oxen (五石牛 [wu shi niu]), placing gold under their tails, saying they could excrete gold. The King of Shu (蜀王 [shu wang]), relying on his strength, ordered the Five Ding to pull them, thus creating a road."
