Yilin Verse

倉廩溢粟鼠不偷,兵戈鑄犁牛拉秋。鄰國商旅通南北,炊煙萬戶入雲稠。

Granaries overflow — even the mice don't steal. Weapons are forged into plows; oxen pull the autumn harvest. Merchants travel freely between neighboring nations, north and south — cooking smoke from ten thousand homes thickens into cloud.

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