Yilin Verse

有莘季女,為夏妃后;貴夫壽子,母字四海。

A phoenix nests in the paulownia as sweet dew falls; the silkworm chamber produces five-colored thread. Her sons are like dragons standing at court — she is the model of motherhood, crowned among all women.

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