Yilin Verse
僮子射御,不知所定。質疑蓍龜,孰知所避?國安土樂,宜利止居。兵寇不至,民无騷擾。
The young one shoots and drives, not knowing where to settle. Consulting milfoil and tortoiseshell, who can know what to avoid? The state is secure, the land content, fit for lasting dwelling. Soldiers and brigands do not come; the people suffer no disturbance.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
