Yilin Verse

南山之蹊,真人所在。德配唐虞,天命為子。保佑歆享,身受大慶。

On the southern mountain's path, the True Man dwells. His virtue matches Yao and Shun; heaven's mandate makes him its son. Protected with blessings and offerings; the body receives great felicity.

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