The oldest collection of Chinese poetry, more than three hundred songs, odes and hymns. Tr. Legge (en) and Granet (fr, incomplete).
Boldly faithful in their pairings are quails ;
Vigorously so are magpies.
This man is all vicious,
And I consider him my brother !
Vigorously faithful in their pairings are magpies ;
Boldly so are quails.
This woman is all vicious,
And I regard her as marchioness.
Legge 49
Les cailles vont par couples et les pies vont par paires...
D'un homme sans bonté vais-je faire mon frère ?
Les pies s'en vont par paires et les cailles par couples...
D'un homme sans bonté ferais-je mon seigneur ?
Granet VII.
