     From: Han Feizi, circa 2^nd century BCE

     Fú zhūyù, rénzhǔ zhī suǒjí yě. Hé suī xiàn pú ér wèi měi, wèi wéi zhǔ zhī hài yě; rán yóu liǎngzú zhǎn ér bǎo nǎi lùn, lùn bǎo ruò cǐ qí nán yě.

     Indeed, pearls and gems are what the lord of men wants badly. Though Ho presented the uncut jade to the Throne, before it was made beautiful, he was never a harm to His Majesty. Nevertheless, it was only after both his feet had been cut off that the treasure was acknowledged. That to establish an opinion of a treasure should be so difficult!

2. Alternative form of 朴: rat meat which has not been air-dried
   • 西京雜記/卷六：玉之未理者為璞，死鼠未腊者亦為璞
