Yilin Verse
藤蔓纏柱木難生，蟲蛀梁心棟已傾。忠言不入蒙蔽耳，庭中正樹被陰藤。
Creeper vines strangle the pillar — the tree cannot grow. Worms bore into the beam's heart — the ridgepole leans. Loyal counsel cannot enter blinded ears — the upright tree in the courtyard is smothered by dark vines.
— Jiao Yanshou (焦延壽), Yilin (焦氏易林), 1st century BCE
