      • c. 5th century BCE, Fan Li's letter to Wen Zhong, quoted in c. 91 BCE, Sima Qian, Records of the Grand Historian; Vietnamese translation by Phan Ngọc
        Chim đã hết thì cung tốt phải cất, thỏ khôn đã chết thì chó săn bị nấu. Vua Việt là người cổ dài, miệng diều hâu có thể cùng lo lúc hoạn nạn, nhưng không thể cùng vui sướng với ông ta. Sao ông lại không bỏ đi?
        When the birds are all gone, then the good bows are stored; when the cunning hares are all dead, then the hounds are cooked. The long-necked, hawk-mouthed king of Yue is a man with whom one can share woes, not enjoy weal. Why won't ye leave?
