Yilin Verse

秋隼冬翔,數被嚴霜。甲兵當庭,萬物不生。雄犬夜鳴,民擾以驚。

The autumn falcon soars in winter; repeatedly struck by bitter frost. Arms and armor fill the courtyard; the ten thousand things cannot grow. The male hound howls at night; the people are disturbed and alarmed.

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