Yilin Verse
杜飛門啟,憂患大解。不為身禍。
The shackles suddenly break, the ropes loosen on their own. The sick body newly recovered, walking into the east wind. Pushing open the door to gaze — heaven and earth are vast. A hundred birds sing together, ushering in spring's work.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
