周易·系辞下》:上古穴居而野,后世圣人易之以宫室,上栋下宇,以待风雨,盖取诸大壮。
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·泛论训》:使天下荒乱,礼义绝,纲纪废,强弱相乘,力征相攘,臣主无差,贵贱无序,甲胄生虮虱,燕雀帷幄,而兵不休息,而乃始服属臾之貌,恭俭之礼,则必灭抑而不能兴矣。
