Yilin Verse
堅固相親，曰篤无患，六體不易，執以安全，雨師駕西，濡我轂輪，張伯李季，各坐關門。
Steadfast bonds, mutual closeness; firm and sure, without calamity. The six limbs do not shift; held fast in safety. The Rain Master drives west, soaking our wheel hubs. Zhang Bo and Li Ji each sit guarding their gates.
— Jiao Yanshou (焦延壽), Yilin (焦氏易林), 1st century BCE
