桓帝時，梁冀秉政，兄弟貴盛自恣，好驅馳過度，至於歸家，猶馳驅入門。 Under Emperor Huan, Liang Ji dominated the government; his brothers were swaggering magnates who raced their chariots past all decency and would thunder through their own gates at a gallop.

桓帝延熹二年夏，霖雨五十餘日。 In the second summer of Emperor Huan's Yanxi era the skies opened for fifty-odd days of steady downpour.

桓帝元嘉中，京都婦女作愁眉、啼粧、堕馬髻、折要步、齲齒笑。 During Emperor Huan's Yuanjia years the women of Luoyang took up "grieving" brows, tear-stained cosmetics, side-swept chignons styled like a tumble from a horse, a mincing walk that snapped at the waist, and smiles that bared teeth as if in pain.
