Yilin Verse
雷行相逐，無有休息。戰於平陸，為夷所覆。
Black clouds press the steppe as war-horses scream. Iron cavalry charges in all directions — dust blots out the sky. Broken flags lie on the ground, no one to lift them — a thousand li of plains, blood runs like rivers.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
