Yilin Verse

烏鵲食穀,張口受哺;蒙被恩福,長大成就;柔順利貞,君臣合好。

Crows and magpies eat grain, opening their mouths to be fed. Covered with kindness and blessing; they grow and come to maturity. Gentle and steadfast in constancy; lord and minister join in harmony.

— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
