Yilin Verse

鸇鳩徒巢,西至平州;遭逢雷雹,闢我葦蘆。室家飢寒,思吾故初。

The hawk and dove abandon their nest; westward they reach Pingzhou. Meeting with thunder and hail; they tear away our reed hut. The household shivers in cold and hunger; longing for our former state.

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