Yilin Verse
烏鵲食穀，張口受哺。蒙被恩德，長大成就。柔順利貞，君臣合好。
Crows and magpies feed on grain, opening their mouths to receive nourishment. Cloaked in grace and kindness, they grow and achieve greatness. Gentle and yielding, faithful and true; lord and minister join in harmony.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
