Yilin Verse

虎臥山隅,鹿過後朐。弓矢設張,會為功曹。伏不敢起,遂全其軀,得我美草。

The tiger lies in the mountain's corner; a deer passes behind the ridge. Bows and arrows are drawn and set; it takes its post as merit officer. Crouching, it dares not rise, and so preserves its body whole; it finds its sweet grass.

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