Yilin Verse
鳥升鵲舉，照臨東海。龍降庭堅，為陶叔後。封圻英六，履祿綏厚。
The bird soars, the magpie rises; shining over the Eastern Sea. The dragon descends at Tingjian; becoming ancestor of Lord Taoshu. Enfeoffed at Ying and Liu; treading on blessings, emolument thick and generous.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
