Excerpt from "Gao Tang Mi" by Song Yu at the end of the Warring States Period, the original excerpt:
The beginning, too? If you are loose; It is also not so profound, clear and clear, looking forward to the sky, but looking forward to thinking; Suddenly my face changed, and I was like driving a horse and riding a feather flag. It's like the wind, it's like the rain, the wind stops the rain, and the clouds are nowhere to be found.
Translation:
When she first came out, she was lush like a tall and green pine tree. After a while, she was as bright as a graceful beauty. She raised her long sleeves to cover the sun, as if expecting the lover she missed. After a while, it changed its appearance, as fast as a speeding car, as high as a feather flag, as cool as a breeze and as sad as rain. The wind stopped raining, the clouds disappeared, and there was nowhere to be found.

About the author:
Song Yu, Zi Ziyuan (about 298 BC-about 222 BC), the son of the State of Song in the Warring States Period, left Chu due to the contradiction between his father and son. He was a poet at the end of the Warring States Period, and he loved Ci and Fu all his life. He knows music and is good at writing articles. He used to be the assistant of the king of Chu. He is another great poet after Qu Yuan, as well as Le Tang and Jing Ke.
Although Song Yu's achievements are difficult to compare with Qu Yuan's, he is the direct successor of Qu Yuan's poetic art. In his works, the description of things tends to be delicate and meticulous, and the combination of lyricism and scenery writing is natural and appropriate, which plays a connecting role between Chu Ci and Han Fu. Later generations often called Qu Ode, which shows Song Yu's position in the history of literature. Representative works include Goddess Fu and Gao.
