Yilin Verse

遊魂六子,百木所起。三男從父,三女隨母,至已而反,各得其所。

The wandering soul and the six children; a hundred trees arise from this source. Three sons follow the father; three daughters follow the mother. Reaching the end, they turn back; each finds their proper place.

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