Yilin Verse
樑折屋塌人未傷，磚瓦落盡立空場。劫後回首渾身冷，不敢邁步恐有坑。
The beam breaks, the house collapses — but the person is unharmed. Tiles and bricks fallen everywhere, standing in an empty lot. Looking back after the ordeal, cold all over — not daring to take a step for fear of hidden pits.
— Jiao Yanshou (焦延壽), Yilin (焦氏易林), 1st century BCE
