Yilin Verse

玄鬣黑顙,東歸高鄉;朱鳥道引,靈龜載莊;遂抵天門,見我貞君。

Dark mane and black brow, returning east to the high country. The vermilion bird leads the way; the divine tortoise bears the dignitary. At last reaching heaven is gate; meeting my steadfast lord.

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