Yilin Verse

秋隼冬翔,數被嚴霜。甲兵充庭,萬物不生。雄父夜鳴,民大擾驚。

The autumn hawk soars through winter skies, battered by bitter frost. Arms and armor fill the courtyard; the ten thousand things cease to grow. The cock crows in the night; the people are greatly startled and alarmed.

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