Yilin Verse

宮商角徵,五音和起。君臣父子,弟順有序。唐虞襲德,國无災咎。

Gong, shang, jue, zhi, and yu, the five tones rise in harmony. Ruler and minister, father and son, younger brothers follow in proper order. Tang and Yu passed down their virtue; the state knows no disaster or fault.

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