Yilin Verse

雞狗相望,仁道篤行。不吠昏明,各安其鄉。周鼎和餌,國富民有。八極蒙祐。

Chickens and dogs within sight of one another; the way of benevolence is practiced steadfastly. They do not bark at dusk or dawn; each is at peace in its own village. The tripod of Zhou blends its seasonings; the state is rich, the people have plenty. All within the eight directions receive its blessing.

— Jiao Yanshou (焦延壽), Yilin (焦氏易林), 1st century BCE
