Yilin Verse

千仞之墻,禍不入門。金籠銕䟽,利以辟兵。欲南上阪,轉萬不轉,還車復反。

A wall of a thousand fathoms; disaster cannot enter the gate. Iron cage and metal bars; useful to ward off soldiers. Wishing to go south, up the slope; ten thousand turns, the cart will not turn. They reverse course and return.

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