Yilin Verse

執斧破薪,使媒求婦。和合二姓,親御斯酒。居比鄰里,姑公悅喜。

He takes up the axe and splits firewood, sends a matchmaker to seek a bride. The two surnames are joined in harmony, toasting together over this wine. They dwell beside their neighbors; father-in-law and mother-in-law rejoice.

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