Yilin Verse

桀紂之主,悖不可輔。貪榮為人,必定其咎。聚鈠積實,野在鄙邑,未得入室。

Rulers like Jie and Zhou, perverse and beyond help. Greedy for glory and serving others, one is certain to incur blame. Hoarding coin and piling goods, stranded in the remote outskirts; he has not gained entry to the chamber.

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