Yilin Verse

管仲遇桓,得其願歡。膠牢振冠,冠帶无憂。笑戲不莊,空言妄行。

Guan Zhong met Duke Huan, and gained what he wished and desired. The bond set firm, the cap straightened; capped and robed, without worry. Yet jesting without solemnity, empty words and reckless deeds.

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