Yilin Verse

棘鉤我襦,為絆所拘,靈巫拜禱,禍不成災。東山之邑,中有土服,可以饒飽。

Thorns hook my jacket; I am caught and held. The spirit shaman bows and prays; disaster does not become calamity. In the town east of the mountain, there is fertile earth; it can provide abundance.

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