Yilin Verse
堯舜仁德,養賢致福。眾英積聚,國無寇賊。商人失利,來爭寶貨。
Yao and Shun, benevolent in virtue, nurtured the worthy and brought blessings. Many talents gathered; the state knew no bandits or thieves. Yet merchants lost their profits, coming to contest over precious goods.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
