Yilin Verse
禹作神鼎，伯益衘指。斧斤既折，撞立獨倚。賣萬不售，枯槁為禍。
Yu cast the sacred tripod; Bo Yi bit his finger in effort. Axe and hatchet already broken, the standing pillar leans alone. Offered for ten thousand, none will buy; withered and wasted, it becomes a curse.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
