Shijing I. 1. (6)
The peach tree is young and elegant ;
Brilliant are its flowers.
This young lady is going to her future home,
And will order well her chamber and house.
The peach tree is young and elegant ;
Abundant will be its fruits.
This young lady is going to her future home,
And will order well her chamber and house.
The peach tree is young and elegant ;
Luxuriant are its leaves.
This young lady is going to her future home,
And will order well her family.
Legge 6
Le pêcher, comme il pousse bien !
qu'elles sont nombreuses, ses fleurs !
La fille va se marier :
il faut qu'on soit femme et mari !
Le pêcher, comme il pousse bien !
qu'ils ont d'abondance, ses fruits !
La fille va se marier :
il faut qu'on soit mari et femme !
Le pêcher, comme il pousse bien !
son feuillage, quelle richesse !
La fille va se marier :
il faut que l'on soit un ménage !
