Yilin Verse

三塗五岳,去危入室。凶禍不作,桀盜堯服。失其寵福,貴人有疾。

Through the three passes and the five peaks, leaving peril and entering shelter. Calamity does not arise; Jie plunders but Yao dons the robes. He loses his favored blessing; the noble one falls ill.

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