Yilin Verse

小陬之市,利不足喜,二世積仁,蒙其祖先,匪躬之言,狂悖為患。

The small market of Zou; its profit is not worth celebrating. Two generations of accumulated benevolence; blessed by their ancestors. But reckless words spoken without restraint; wild defiance becomes a calamity.

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