Yilin Verse
秋隼冬翔，數被嚴霜。甲兵充庭，萬物不生。雞釜夜鳴，民擾大驚。
The autumn falcon soars in winter, struck repeatedly by bitter frost. Arms and armor fill the courtyard; the ten thousand things do not grow. The rooster cries from the cauldron at night; the people are thrown into great alarm.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
