The Lun Heng says that it produces one stem every seventy years and ten stems every seven hundred years, making it a divine object, hence its slow growth. The Shi Ji says that any shi plant that grows to have a hundred stems must have a divine being guarding it below and clouds covering it above. The Huainanzi says that there is a cluster of shi above and hidden treasures below; the last character is missing.
