Yilin Verse
狗冠雛步，君失其居。出門抵山，行者憂難。水灌我園，高陸為泉。
A dog in a cap, walking with chick-like steps; the lord loses his dwelling. Stepping out the door, mountains block the way; the traveler meets hardship. Water floods my garden; the high plateau becomes a spring.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
