"July 10. Strong winds. A flash of light arrived, followed by the roar of thunder. A massive tree was suddenly destroyed and caught fire. Where does this fire come from? Some say it is heavenly fire, inherently blazing like fireworks; others say the lightning strikes the wood like flint striking stone, operating on the same principle as drilling wood to make fire."
"July 16. Overcast skies. I saw the glow of lightning in the distance and intended to venture into the mountains, but was unable to make the trip."
"August 5. Muffled thunder rolled continuously, like the beating of drums. Could there truly be heavenly deities beating drums above?"
September 8. By using iron objects to attract it, it seems possible to gather the light of the thunder."
"October 22. It has rained frequently of late, with many thunderstorms striking the mountain peaks. A prime opportunity for trials."
