Yilin Verse
區脫康居,慕義入朝。湛露之歡,三爵畢恩。復歸野廬,與母相扶。
Envoys from distant lands, drawn by righteousness, come to court. Enjoying the feast of glistening dew, three cups complete the grace. They return to their wilderness huts, supporting their mothers.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
