Yilin Verse

延陵適魯,觀樂太史。車轔白顛,知秦興起。卒兼其國,一統為主。

Yanling visited Lu, observing music at the Grand Scribe's. The chariots rumbled, heads white as hoarfrost; he discerned the rise of Qin. In the end it annexed all states, unifying them under one rule.

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