Yilin Verse
黍稷醇醴，敬奉山宗。神嗜飲食，甘雨嘉降。黎庶蕃殖，獨蒙福祉。
Millet and pure wine, reverently offered to the mountain ancestors. The spirits relish the food and drink; sweet rain descends in blessing. The people multiply and flourish; alone receiving fortune's favor.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
