Translation
During the Yiyou period in Shaoxing, a bear appeared in Yongjia City. At that time, Gao Shi, the leader at that time, said to his subordinate Zhao Yuantu: "The word "bear" can be dismantled into 'can be fire'. We must speed up fire safety work in the city."
As a result, a few days later, a fire broke out, burning seventeen or eighteen houses.
In June of the tenth year of Hongzhi, a bear entered the city in Xizhimen, and He Mengchun, the Minister of War, also reminded everyone to speed up fire safety work.
Just a few days later, the Ministry of Rites caught fire. A few days later, the Qianqing Palace caught fire again.

supplement
Shaoxing Jiyou, Shaoxing was the year name used by Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty. He ran to Yuezhou in 1131 AD and felt that he was doing it again. So the year name was changed to Shaoxing, and Yuezhou was changed to Shaoxing since then. The year of use of this year number in Shaoxing is 1131-1162. Then the year of Jiyou is usually 1129 or 1189, which is not within this range, so someone should remember it wrong.

sense
