"The Book of Songs·Zheng Feng·Zi Jin"
The green Zi Jin, my heart is leisurely.
Even if I don't go, Zi Ning will not inherit the sound?< /p>
The green zizi wears me thinking for a long time.
Even if I don’t go, will Zi Ning not come?
I’m in the city gate.
>One day without seeing you is like March!
Vernacular translation
The green color is your collar, the leisurely color is my state of mind. Even if I never go to see you, will you just stop hearing from me?
The green ones are what you wear, and the long ones are my feelings. Even if I never go to meet you, can't you take the initiative to come?
Looking back and forth, on this high tower. It seems like three months since I haven’t seen you for a day!
