There is no ice in the golden basin for children, and colored silk is worn as a silver Zheng (pheasant).
Jade Qing resounded through the forest, and suddenly the glass (Qing) broke.
Precautions:
1. De-icing means that children shovel ice from a copper basin, which has formed solid ice since morning.
2. Zheng refers to an ancient musical instrument like gong.
3. Glass refers to an ancient natural jade, also called water jade, not the present glass.
4. Young children refer to young and naive children.
Four-tone ancient percussion instrument, shaped like a ruler, made of jade and can be hung.
Translation:
Early in the morning, the children scraped out the frozen ice in the copper basin and put it on with the silk thread they brought. Knocking through the Woods, I suddenly heard a crisp sound of water jade falling to the ground. As a result, the children broke it.
