Yilin Verse
黍稷醇醲，敬奉山宗。神嗜飲食，甘雨嘉降；獨蒙福力，時災不至。
Millet and grain, rich and mellow, reverently offered to the mountain ancestor. The spirits savor the food and drink; sweet rain descends in blessing -- alone we receive heaven favor, and seasonal disasters do not come.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
