Yilin Verse

南山黃竹,三身六目。出入制命,東皇宣政。主尊君安,鄭國無患。

Golden bamboo on the southern mountain; three bodies, six eyes. Commanding the rhythm of life and death -- the Eastern Sovereign proclaims his governance. The lord is honored, the ruler at peace; the state of Zheng knows no calamity.

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