Yilin Verse
盛中後跌，衰老復掇，盈滿減毀，疾羸肥腯，鄭昭失國，重耳與立。
Prosperous at the height, then stumbling in decline; the wasted recover, the full are diminished. Overflowing fullness leads to ruin; the sick grow stout again. Duke Zhao of Zheng lost his state; Chong'er was restored.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
