Yilin Verse

大足長股,利出行道。囷倉充盈,䟽齒善市。宜錢富家,事得萬倍。

Great feet and long legs, profitable for traveling the road. Granaries brim and overflow; with fine teeth one trades well at market. Wealth enriches the household; in every affair, a hundredfold return.

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