Yilin Verse

馬服長股,宜行善市。蒙祐諧偶,獲利五倍。終日在市,詰朝獲利。既享嘉福,得之以義。

A long-shanked horse in service, fit for travel and fine trade. Blessed with a harmonious match, gaining profit fivefold. All day at market, by morning the profit arrives. Having enjoyed such blessings, one obtains them through righteousness.

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