Yilin Verse
陽孤亢極，多所恨惑，車傾蓋亡，身常憂惶；乃得其願，雌雄相從。
Yang, solitary and at its extreme, meets much resentment and bewilderment. The cart overturns, the canopy lost; the body is ever anxious and afraid. Yet at last the wish is gained; female and male follow together.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
