Yilin Verse

䟽足息肩,有所忌難,金城鐵廓,以銅為關,藩屏自衛,安上無患。

Resting weary feet and easing shoulders; there are things to fear and guard against. Walls of metal, ramparts of iron; gates of bronze. Screens and shields for self-defense; secure above, without calamity.

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