Yilin Verse

光祀春成,陳寶雞鳴。陽鳥失道,不能自守。消亡無咎。舉事不成,自取凶咎。

The spring sacrifice is offered with radiance, the treasured rooster of Chen crows. The yang bird has lost its way, unable to keep its rightful watch. It fades and vanishes without blame. Undertakings come to nothing; one brings misfortune upon oneself.

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