Yilin Verse

恭寬信敏,功加四海。辟去不祥,喜來從母。

Cultivated bamboo stands straight, never bending. Where a pure breeze passes, waves rise naturally. Virtuous conduct spreads beyond a thousand mountains — a hundred birds return to the forest, circling the trees.

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