Yilin Verse

奮翅鼓翼,翱翔外國。逍遙徙倚,來歸溫室。

The great Peng spreads its wings three thousand li, crossing mountains and seas without tiring. Having seen all the flowers and snow at the world's edge — returning to the old nest, the moon is perfectly full.

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