Yilin Verse
景星照堂，麟遊鳳翔。仁施大行，頌聲作興。征者无明，失其寵光。
An auspicious star illuminates the hall; the qilin roams, the phoenix soars. Benevolence spreads, greatly enacted; hymns of praise arise. Yet the campaigner lacks clarity; he loses his favor and light.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
