Yilin Verse

周城之降,越裳夷通。疾病多祟,鬼哭其公,鳥子野心,宿客不同。

The walls of Zhou fall; the distant Yuechang barbarians come through. Illness brings many hauntings; ghosts weep for their lord. The bird's offspring have a wild heart; the lodged guest does not belong.

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