Two famous lines use it: Tao Yuanming's
结庐在人境，
而无车马喧 (I built my hut among people, yet hear no noise of carriages and horses), and
门前冷落车马稀 (the gate is deserted and callers are few), the usual quoted form of a line in Bai Juyi's Song of the Pipa. Today the word survives in
车马费, a travel allowance paid to speakers or guests.
