Yilin Verse

壽考不忘,駕騂東行。之適陳宋,南賈楚荊,得利息長,旅自多罷,畏晝喜夜。

Long life, unforgotten; he drives a red-haired horse eastward. Journeying to Chen and Song; trading south in Chu and Jing. Profit gained and interest grown; yet the traveler is ever weary, fearing daylight, welcoming night.

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