This poem was written by Qu Yuan, a great poet of Chu State in the Warring States Period. The full text of this poem is as follows:
original text
Di Zi fell on Zhu Bei, and his eyes were pitiful. Autumn wind blows gently, and Dongting waves under the leaves.
Celebrate the wedding day by boasting a white cup. What's on the tree when the bird is among the apples?
In yuan there, and Li Lan, and I think the childe dare not speak. Looking from a distance, look at the flowing water.
What do elk eat? What are dumplings? Chi Chao Ma Yu Xi Gao Jiang, Xi Ji Xi Lu.
When I hear that beautiful woman calling me, I will drive away. Build a room in the water, repair it and cover it.
The sun wall is like a purple altar, and the pepper is like a hall. Xi Lan, Guidong, Yi Xinmei Xi Pharmacy.
This is a curtain, this is a curtain. White Xi is a small town, and Shi Lan Xi is perfume.
Wu, dazzling Du Heng. A hundred herbs combine with the real court to build a fragrant door.
When nine flowers meet, the spirit comes like a cloud. The river donated more than I wanted, and Lipu left more than I wanted.
If you go to Tingzhou and Du Ruo, you will be far away. Time can't be sudden, talk easy!
Vernacular translation
Xiang Jun landed in Zhou Bei, and he looked at me from a distance, which made me very disappointed. The trees shook gently, the autumn wind began to cool, and the Dongting waves beat the shore, and the leaves fell.
Standing on a white cup and looking around, I met a beautiful woman tonight. Why do birds gather in the water plants? Why is the fishing net hanging on the treetops?
The grass in Shui Yuan is green, and the orchids in Lishui are in bloom. I miss Mrs Xiang, but I dare not say it. Looking into the distance, I saw the river slowly flowing.
Why are elk foraging in the yard? Why do dragons wander by the water? In the morning, I was riding by the river, and in the evening, I crossed to the west of the river.
I heard that Mrs Xiang was calling me, so I drove with her. I want to build my house in the middle of water and cover the roof with lotus leaves.
Witch hazel decorated the walls, and purple shells were laid on the court altar. The walls are covered with peppers to decorate the hall. Guimu is the pillar, Mulan is the truss, Magnolia is the lintel, and Angelica dahurica is the bedroom.
Woven Ficus pumila to make curtains, and curtains made of grass have been set up. The seats in the town are made of white jade, and Shi Lan is decorated with fragrance everywhere.
Cover the Lotus House with Cao Zhi and wrap it with Du Heng. Pick all kinds of flowers and plants, fill the courtyard and build a fragrant porch.
All the gods of Mount Jiuyi came to greet Lady Xiang, and the stars were like clouds. I threw my sleeves into the river, and I threw my light coat by the Lishui River.
I am picking Du Ruo in Zhou Xiao and giving it to a girl in the distance. Good times are rare. I'm just browsing.
Extended data:
"Nine Songs of Lady Xiang" is one of the eleven songs of Chu Ci, a poem dedicated to the goddess Xiang Shui, and a companion piece of "Nine Songs". ..
Although the title of the poem is "Mrs Xiang", the hero in the poem is Xiang Jun, and the theme of this poem is mainly to describe a pair of lovers who are rich in life and death but can't meet each other. Works always take waiting for someone to come as a clue, expressing deep resentment to each other in frustration, but the love between them is consistent. The whole poem expresses that the person who kept the appointment came to the appointment place, but did not see the melancholy and confusion of Mrs. Xiang.
Xiang Jun and Mrs Xiang are two tragedies caused by the wrong date time, but together they are a sincere comedy.
They are said to be tragedies because both parties to the appointment missed the time to meet each other, and they were unable to extricate themselves because of the disappearance of acacia, and their hearts and feelings suffered for a long time; They are comedies because men and women really love each other and love each other deeply. Although they have experienced some setbacks, they have not given up their pursuit and expectation, so it is only a matter of time before the happy ending appears.
When they finally meet each other after patiently and calmly waiting for each other, the misunderstanding and troubles caused by coming first will inevitably disappear in an instant, and they will be greeted by the joy and happiness that Xiang Jun felt in his illusion.
