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
