Yilin Verse
大尾小頭，重不可搖。上弱下強，陰制其雄。
Thick roots, thin branches — fruit struggles to form. Wide foundation, narrow tower — unstable in the wind. The servant holds the seal while the master kneels — wielding a weapon backwards, handing the handle to another.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
