Yilin Verse

烏升鵲舉,照流東海。厖降庭堅,為陶叔後;封圻蓼六,履祿綏厚。

Crow rises and magpie soars, their light streaming over the eastern sea. Pang descended and Tingjian arose, becoming the ancestor of the Tao clan; enfeoffed at Liao and Lu, they trod upon ample fortune and bounty.

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