Yilin Verse

住車醊酒,疾風暴起;泛亂福器,飛揚位草。明神降祿,道無害寇。

Halting the cart to pour a libation, a violent wind suddenly rises; scattering the sacred vessels, blowing offerings into the grass. Yet the bright spirits bestow fortune -- the road holds no harm from brigands.

— Jiao Yanshou (焦延壽), Yilin (焦氏易林), 1st century BCE
