Yilin Verse
揚水潛鑿，使君潔白；衣素朱表，遊戲皋沃；得君所願，心志娛樂。
Drawing water and secretly channeling springs, to keep the lord pure and white. Wearing white silk beneath vermillion overcoat, one roams and plays in the rich meadow. Gaining the lord's desire; heart and spirit are delighted.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
