Yilin Verse

兩輪自轉,南上大阪;四馬共轅,無有重難;與禹笑言。鶴鳴竅穴,不離其室。

Two wheels turn of themselves, climbing south up the great slope. Four horses share one shaft; no burden too heavy to bear -- laughing and talking with Yu. The crane calls from its burrow; it does not leave its chamber.

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