Yilin Verse

火井暘谷,揚芒生角。犯歷天門,闚見太微。登上玉床,家易共公。

The fire well at Yanggu sends forth its brilliance, sprouting horns of light. Transgressing the calendar, it passes through the Heavenly Gate; peering into the Taiwei enclosure. Ascending the jade throne, the house is exalted to that of a duke.

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