Poem in chinese characters with pinyin and explanation in chinese.
|
Jing Nü How lovely is the retiring girl ! She was to await me at a corner of the wall . Loving and not seeing her , I scratch my head , and am in perplexity . How handsome is the retiring girl ! She presented to me a red tube . Bright is the red tube ; -- I delight in the beauty of the girl . From the pasture lands she gave a shoet of the white grass , Truly elegant and rare . It is not you , O grass , that are elegant ; -- You are the gift of an elegant girl . English translation : James Legge
