Yilin Verse

陰變為陽,女化作男。治道得通,君臣相承。

The frozen river thaws at the sound of spring thunder; dead branches sprout green as jade. Underground currents in the valley surge through stone — in a single morning, heaven and earth change their garments.

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