Yilin Verse
大斧破木，讒佞敗國。東間梁王，禍及三子。晉人亂邑，懷公出走。
The great axe splits the timber; slander and flattery ruin the state. In the east, King Liang is betrayed; disaster reaches his three sons. The men of Jin throw the city into chaos; Duke Huai flees in exile.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
