Yilin Verse
鳴條之郊，北奔犬胡。左衽為長，國號匈奴。王君旄頭，立尊單于。
At the wilds of Mingtiao; northward they fled to the barbarian lands. Left-lapelled garments became the custom; the state was named Xiongnu. The king raised the yak-tail standard, and established the title Chanyu.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
