Yilin Verse

頻逢社飲,失利後福,不如子息,舊居故處,申請必與,乃無大悔。

Frequently attending the village feast; losing profit, gaining later blessing. Better than wandering from one's children; dwelling in the old and familiar place. Petitions are surely granted; thus there is no great regret.

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