Yilin Verse
四馬共轅，東上太山。騂驪同力，无有重難，與君笑言。
Four horses share one yoke, ascending east to Mount Tai. Bay and black combine their strength; there is no great difficulty. We laugh and speak with our lord.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
Commentary
Wind over water disperses obstacles from the path. Four horses share one yoke, pulling eastward up Mount Tai itself. Bay and black work in concert, united in strength — no difficulty too heavy, no terrain too steep. With their lord they share laughter and easy conversation. This is the image of combined force deployed joyously: dispersion of resistance through collaborative power. Thunder and fire together create the image of Abundance — the zenith of light and movement, the moment when everything comes together. From Dispersion to Abundance, the four horses ascending the sacred mountain embody the full realization of dispersed energy reconvening as unstoppable momentum. What was scattered becomes surplus; what was separate becomes a team climbing toward the summit.
