Yilin Verse

出入門所,與道開通,𣏌梁之信,不失日中,少季渡江,來歸其邦,疾病危亡。

Going out and coming in through the gate; the road opens and is clear. The trust of Qi and Liang; not missing the midday hour. The youngest crosses the river; returning to his homeland. Grave illness, mortal peril.

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