Yilin Verse
火起上門，不為我殘。跳脫東西，獨得生完。不利出鄰，病疾憂患。
The beam breaks, the house collapses — but the person is unharmed. Tiles and bricks fallen everywhere, standing in an empty lot. Looking back after the ordeal, cold all over — not daring to take a step for fear of hidden pits.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
