Yilin Verse
北辰紫宮，衣冠立中；含和建德，常受大福。鈆刀攻玉，堅不可得。
The North Star in the Purple Palace; robed and capped, standing at the center. Embracing harmony, building virtue; one ever receives great blessing. A lead knife attacking jade; the hard cannot be won.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
