Yilin Verse
晉平有疾,迎醫秦國。病乃大患,分為兩豎。逃匿膏盲,和不能愈。
Duke Ping of Jin fell ill; he summoned a physician from Qin. The illness proved a great affliction, splitting into two demon-children. They hid below the heart and above the diaphragm; the healer could not cure it.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
