Yilin Verse

狼虎爭強,禮義不行,兼吞其國,齊晉無主。

Two tigers pounce — the bones are not yet cold; a wolf pack tears the carcass, blood staining the snow. The throne hangs empty with no one to sit it — beacon fires split in all four directions from the city tower.

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