Yilin Verse

春桃生花,季女宜家;受福多年,男為封君。

The wedding gown, stored in the chest for ten years — on an auspicious day, the red makeup is opened. Children and grandchildren fill the hall like pomegranate seeds — the peach trees in the courtyard have grown into rows.

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