Yilin Verse
明傷之初，為穆出交，以讒復歸。名曰豎牛，剝亂叔孫，餧於空丘。
At the start of the wounding of brightness, sent forth on Mu's behalf to negotiate, then returned through slander. Named Shu Niu, he brought ruin upon the house of Shusun, left to starve upon an empty hill.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
