Yilin Verse

文君之德,養仁致福。年无胎夭,國富民實。憂者之望,憎參盜息。

The virtue of Lord Wen nurtures benevolence and brings blessings. No infant dies untimely in the year; the state is rich, the people full. The anxious find their hope; hatred and banditry cease.

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