     From: circa 3^rd BCE,《荀子•榮辱》
     According to 楊倞 (Yáng Jìng, “fl. 819”), here the character carries a similar meaning to 祛 (qū, “to lose”), while Yu Yue (俞樾, 1821~1907) reckoned it as a variant of 阹 (qū, “to bar; to obstruct”)

     Fúyáng zhī yú yě, qū yú shā ér sī shuǐ, zé wú dài yǐ.

     The mullet dart about near the surface of the water, but when they are stranded on the sand, though they may long for water, they will never reach it again.
