Yilin Verse
東行破車，步入危家。衡門穿射，無以為主。賣袍續食，糟糠不飽。
Traveling east, the cart breaks down; on foot, entering a perilous house. The crossbar gate is pierced through; nothing left to serve as master. Selling robes to buy food; chaff and husks do not satisfy.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
