哀公问社于宰我。宰我对曰：「夏后氏以松，殷人以柏，周人以栗。曰：『使民战栗。』」 [Classical Chinese, simp.]

From: The Analects of Confucius, c. 475 – 221 BCE, translated based on James Legge's version

Āi gōng wèn shè yú Zǎi wǒ. Zǎi wǒ duì yuē: “Xiàhòushì yǐ sōng, yīn rén yǐ bǎi, zhōu rén yǐ lì. Yuē: ‘Shǐ mín zhànlì.’” [Pinyin]

The duke Ai asked Zai Wo about the altars of the spirits of the land. Zai Wo replied, "The Xia sovereign planted the pine tree about them; the men of the Yin planted the cypress; and the men of the Zhou planted the chestnut tree, meaning thereby to cause the people to be in awe."

栗 (lì, “chestnut”) and 慄／栗 (lì, “to tremble”) are homophonic.
