Yilin Verse

陸居少泉,山高無雲。車行千里,塗不污輪。渴為我怨,佳思廣得。

Dwelling on land with few springs; the mountains high, without clouds. The cart travels a thousand li; the road does not soil its wheels. Thirst becomes my grievance; yet fine thoughts are broadly gained.

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