Yilin Verse
繼祀宗邑，追明成康；光照萬國，享世久長。疾病不醫，下即蒿廬。
Continuing the ancestral sacrifice at the clan seat, upholding the brilliance of Cheng and Kang; their light shines on ten thousand states, their era endures long. The illness cannot be cured -- one descends to the thatched grave.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
