Yilin Verse

君明有德,登天大祿,布政施惠,以感恩福,中子南遊,翱翔未復。

The lord is wise and virtuous; he ascends to heaven’s great blessing. He spreads governance and bestows grace, inspiring gratitude and fortune. The middle son travels south, soaring free and not yet returned.

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