Yilin Verse
陰生麇鹿，鼠舞鬼哭。靈龜陸蒙，釜甑草土。仁智盤桓，國亂無緒。
In the yin, deer are born; rats dance, ghosts wail. The sacred tortoise is stranded on land; cauldrons and steamers fill with weeds and earth. The wise and humane hesitate; the state is in chaos, without order.
— Jiao Yanshou (焦延壽), Yilin (焦氏易林), 1st century BCE
