Yilin Verse

學靈三年,聖且明神。先見善祥,嘉吉福慶,餌吉知來,告我无咎。

Studying the numinous for three years; sagely and divinely illumined. Foreseeing auspicious signs; blessed with good fortune and celebration. Consulting the oracle, knowing what is to come; it tells me there is no blame.

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