Yilin Verse

虎豹熊羆,遊戲山隅。得其所欲,君子無憂。旅人失利,市空無人。

Tigers, leopards, and bears roam and sport in the mountain's corner. They obtain what they desire; the noble man has no worry. Travelers lose their profit; the market stands empty, without a soul.

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