Yilin Verse

千里赴京終得見,金殿之上龍顏開。御筆親題功臣冊,錦袍加身拜相臺。

A thousand li to the capital, finally granted an audience. In the golden hall, the dragon's countenance brightens. The imperial brush personally inscribes the scroll of merit — a brocade robe draped, ascending the minister's platform.

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