Yilin Verse

地動山搖屋脊裂,煙塵沖天半邊斜。牽兒攜老出城去,回望故園火中埋。

The earth shakes and mountains tremble — roof ridges crack. Smoke and dust shoot skyward, half the horizon tilts. Leading children and elders out of the city — looking back, the homeland is buried in flame.

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