Yilin Verse
欲飛無翼，鼎重折足。失其喜利，苞羞為賊。上妻之家，喜除我憂，解吾思愁。
Wishing to fly, but lacking wings; the cauldron, heavy, breaks its leg. Losing one's joy and profit; wrapped disgrace becomes a thief. Going to the wife's family home -- joy dispels my worry, unraveling my sorrow.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
