Yilin Verse
狐狸雉兔,畏人逃去。分走竄匿,不知所處。
A bird once startled by a bow dares not perch. A snake's shadow in the wine cup — suspicion on all sides. Every rustling grass and wind-sound is an enemy — fleeing into the deep forest, not daring to return.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
