Yilin Verse

秋蛇向穴,不失其節。夫人姜氏,自齊復入。

Migratory birds know autumn and return to the old forest; bees and butterflies recognize the flowers and come back to the garden. The traveler of a thousand li suddenly turns around — where cooking smoke rises, there is the family gate.

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