Yilin Verse

大鵬展翅三千里,越嶺過海不知疲。看盡天涯花與雪,歸來故巢月正圓。

The great Peng spreads its wings three thousand li, crossing mountains and seas without tiring. Having seen all the flowers and snow at the world's edge — returning to the old nest, the moon is perfectly full.

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