Yilin Verse
東家殺牛，聞臭腥臊。神怒不顧，命衰絕周。亳社災燒，妄夷誅愁。
The eastern household slaughters an ox; the stench of blood offends. The spirits rage and turn away; fate declines and the Zhou line ends. The Bo shrine burns in calamity; reckless destruction brings sorrow.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
