Yilin Verse

虎臥山隅,鹿過後朐。弓矢設張,猬為功曹,伏不敢起;逐至平野,得我美草。

The tiger crouches at the mountain's edge; a deer passes behind it. Bows and arrows are set and drawn; the hedgehog serves as marshal. Crouching, it dares not rise. Chased onto the open plain; it finds sweet grass.

— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
