Yilin Verse

雨雪三日,鳥獸飢乏。旅人失宜,利不可得。幾言解患,以療紛難。危者復安。

Rain and snow for three days; birds and beasts starve and falter. The traveler finds no lodging; profit cannot be obtained. A few apt words dispel the trouble, healing the tangled difficulty. Those in peril are restored to peace.

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