周易·繫辭下》:上古穴居而野,後世聖人易之以宮室,上棟下宇,以待風雨,蓋取諸大壯。
In the highest antiquity they made their homes (in winter) in caves, and (in summer) dwelt in the open country. In subsequent ages, for these the sages substituted houses, with the ridge-beam above and the projecting roof below, as a provision against wind and rain. The idea of this was taken, probably, from Da Zhuang (the thirty-fourth hexagram).
淮南子·氾論訓》:使天下荒亂,禮義絕,綱紀廢,強弱相乘,力征相攘,臣主無差,貴賤無序,甲胄生蟣虱,燕雀帷幄,而兵不休息,而乃始服屬臾之貌,恭儉之禮,則必滅抑而不能興矣。
