Yilin Verse

䟽足息肩,有所忌難,金城銅郭,以鐵為關,藩屏自衛,安止无患。

Resting the feet, easing the shoulders; there is something to fear and avoid. Walls of bronze, ramparts of copper, gates forged of iron. Shielding and defending oneself; at peace, at rest, without calamity.

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