c. 815 - "琵琶行" (Pipa Song), poem by Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi (白居易, 772–846)

大弦嘈嘈如急雨，小弦切切如私語。

嘈嘈切切錯雜彈，大珠小珠落玉盤。

(The bold strings rattled like splatters of sudden rain,

The fine strings hummed like lovers' whispers.

Chattering and pattering, pattering and chattering,

As pearls, large and small, on a jade plate fall.)
