Yilin Verse
隨時逐便,不失利門。多獲得福,富於封君。
In spring buy seeds, in autumn harvest gold. Buy low in the eastern market, sell in the western. Riding the wind with raised sail, knowing when to advance and retreat — ten years of common cloth exchanged for purple robes.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
