Yilin Verse
憂人之患，履悖易顏，為身禍殘。率身自守，與喜相抱，長子成老。封受福祉。
Grieving over others' troubles, treading error, changing one's expression; calamity mars the body. Guarding oneself in discipline, embracing joy — the eldest son grows old. Enfeoffed, he receives blessings.
— Jiao Yanshou (焦延壽), Yilin (焦氏易林), 1st century BCE
