Yilin Verse

禹召諸侯,會稽南山。執玉萬國,天下康寧。

The Hall of Light with nine pillars stands like mountains. The four barbarian tribes come to offer tribute, bowing at the steps. Dragon banners and phoenix canopies shade the sun — ten thousand states sing in one voice, praising the sage's reign.

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