Yilin Verse
懿公淺愚，不深受謀。无援失國，為狄所賊。
Raising cranes while abandoning the people — the people scatter. Feeding birds while neglecting governance — the state gradually topples. Enemy troops enter the border, no one defends. The jade throne stands empty — only the cranes cry mournfully.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
