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.
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.

Creation background
It is generally believed that Mrs. Xiang is the goddess of women, while Xiang Jun is the goddess of men and spouses. Xiangshui is the largest river in Chu. This pair of gods and Mrs. Xiang reflects the primitive people's idea of worshipping natural gods and the concept of "love between god and man" Chu's folk literature and art have a strong religious flavor, and the altar is actually a "theater" or "literary world".
Take Mrs. Hexiang as an example: when people offer sacrifices to her, female singers or worshippers play the role of greeting; When offering sacrifices to Mrs. Xiang, male singers or admirers play the role of welcoming Mrs. Xiang and express their deep feelings. They take God as the object and place their simple and sincere love for the world. At the same time, it also embodies the harmony between Chu people and nature.
Because of the flesh-and-blood relationship between Xiang Shui in southern Chu and Chu people, Chu people have placed deep love on Xiang Shui, regarded Xiang Shui as a river of love and happiness, and then described it personally. The image of God also shows the story of joys and sorrows like people, and the God in people's minds is also specifically covered with the shadow of historical legends.
Xiang Jun and Mrs Xiang are based on the legends of Shun and his second concubines (E Huang and Nv Ying). In this way, the image of God is not only richer and more vivid, but also closer to people in real life emotionally, full of human feelings.
