Yilin Verse

牛馬聾聵,不知聲味。遠賢賤仁,自合亂憒。疾病無患,生福在門。

Oxen and horses, deaf and dull; they know neither sound nor savor. Dismissing the worthy, debasing the humane; bringing confusion upon themselves. Illness brings no lasting harm; life and blessing stand at the door.

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