- 君亦見夫爲社者乎？樹木而塗之，鼠穿其間，堀穴託其中。燻之，則恐焚木，灌之，則恐塗阤。此社鼠之所以不得也。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
  君亦见夫为社者乎？树木而涂之，鼠穿其间，堀穴托其中。熏之，则恐焚木，灌之，则恐涂阤。此社鼠之所以不得也。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]
  From: Han Feizi, circa 2^nd century BCE
  Jūn yì jiàn fú wéi shè zhě hū? Shù mù ér tú zhī, shǔ chuān qíjiān, kū xué tuō qízhōng. Xūn zhī, zé kǒng fén mù, guàn zhī, zé kǒng tú yǐ. Cǐ shèshǔ zhīsuǒyǐ bùdé yě. [Pinyin]
  Your Highness must have seen people building a shrine. They set up the beams and then plaster them. Yet rats gnaw holes through the plaster and shelter themselves inside. Then, if you smoke them out, you are afraid you might burn the wood; if you pour water over them, you are afraid the plaster might crumble. This is the reason why the shrine rats cannot be caught.
(Classical) to plant trees
