Excerpted from the Zhou Dynasty's anonymous "Daya Gongliu" (selected from the Book of Songs), the original excerpt:
Gong Liu, bandits live in bandits kang. If you are at the border, you will accumulate a warehouse; It's wrapped in food. It's in the bag. Think of light, bows and arrows; Let's go to war and raise the flag.
Du Gong Liu, Yu Siyuan. Ordinary and complicated, fluent and propagandized, without eternal sigh. At the same time, we are back to the beginning. Why take a boat? Yao and a knife.
Translation:
Loyal and honest, my ancestors are good at staying, not seeking happiness and enjoyment. Divide the boundaries to control farmland, and the grain in the warehouse is piled thick, and the dry food is wrapped up for a long journey. The bags are full, and everyone has been United and glorious for a long time. Pick up bows and arrows, spear in hand, shield, knife and axe, and walk forward.
Honest and honest, my ancestors are good at staying, so I can look at the ground and think about the week. Many people followed closely, feeling comfortable, without sighing or worrying. Suddenly the top of the mountain was far away, and suddenly I went down to the plain to look carefully. What do you wear? Beautiful jade is as beautiful as Qiong Yao, and the jade ornaments on the scabbard are bright and soft.

Creative background:
The Preface to Poetry says that this poem was written to appeal to Kang Gong to quit Zhou Chengwang. It inherits "Daya Sheng Min" and "Daya Huan".
"Daya" wrote that Zhou ancestors were engaged in agricultural production in Taitai (so the address was in Wugong County, Shaanxi Province); This article is about Gong Liu moving from the north to Xinjiang to start a business. The poem Daya Huan describes that ancient public servants moved to Qixia (now Qixian County, Shaanxi Province), and Wang Wen inherited the inheritance, further developing Zhou Zhi's inheritance.
Theme appreciation:
This poem describes the historical process of Gong Liu's pioneering work in Xinjiang after he moved from the north to northern Xinjiang (now Xunyi and Binxian in Shaanxi), and shaped the image of Gong Liu, an ancient hero. Its artistic feature is to express the social outlook at that time in action and portray characters in specific scenes.
