Yilin Verse

東山西陵,高峻難升。滅夷掘壘,使道不通。商旅無功,復反其邦。

Eastern mountains and western ridges, lofty and steep, hard to climb. Leveling the land and breaching the ramparts, the road is made impassable. Merchants gain nothing; they turn back to their own lands.

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