Yilin Verse

履祿綏厚,載福受祉,衰微復起,繼世長久,疾病獻麥,晉人赴告。

Treading in blessings, receiving thick favor; bearing fortune, accepting benediction. From decline, rising again; continuing through generations, enduring long. In illness, an offering of wheat; the men of Jin send word.

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