Yilin Verse
欒子作殃，伯氏誅傷。州犂奔楚，失其寵光。
Lord Luan brought calamity upon himself; the Bo clan was punished and slain. Zhou Li fled to Chu; he lost his favored glory.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
Commentary
Heaven stored within the mountain transforms into heaven with fire — Fellowship. The Luan clan brings calamity upon themselves, and the Bo clan is executed. Zhou Li flees to Chu, losing all favor and glory. This traces the downfall of the Luan family of Jin: Luan Shu, once the most powerful minister in Jin, orchestrated the assassination of Duke Li, but his descendants reaped the consequences. Bo Zong was murdered by the Three Xi clans, and his son Bo Zhou Li fled to Chu, where he too was eventually killed by King Ling. From Great Taming to Fellowship, the mountain's stored heaven becomes fire blazing beneath heaven — a fellowship that demands moral clarity. When accumulated power is used for factional murder, the fellowship shatters and the perpetrators' descendants pay the price.
