Yilin Verse

爭訟不已,更相咨詢。張事弱口,被髮北走。耳順從心,躬行至仁。不須以兵,天下太平。

Disputes go on without end; they consult one another in turn. Exaggerating the case with feeble words, hair unbound, they flee northward. When ears obey and heart follows, the body practices perfect benevolence. No need to resort to arms; all under heaven is at peace.

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