Yilin Verse

伯仲旅行,南求大䍧。長孟病足,倩季負囊。柳下之貞,不失驪黃。

The elder and second brother travel together, seeking great rams in the south. The eldest has an injured foot, so the youngest carries the packs. With the integrity of Liu Xia, they do not lose sight of bay and black.

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