Yilin Verse
葛藟蒙棘，華不得實。讒佞亂政，使恩壅塞。
Creeper vines strangle the pillar — the tree cannot grow. Worms bore into the beam's heart — the ridgepole leans. Loyal counsel cannot enter blinded ears — the upright tree in the courtyard is smothered by dark vines.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
