From Song Yu's Ode to the Goddess of the Warring States, an excerpt from the original text:
The appearance is rich and graceful, and the buds are moist. Eyes are bright and bright, beautiful to see. Eyebrows are connected with moths, and lips are like Dan. Do solid quality, aim at solving Thailand, and be idle. It is quiet and swaying in the world.
Translation:
Full-bodied, dignified and refined; The skin color is as white as jade; Eyes bright and strong. A pair of beautiful big eyes are particularly beautiful. Her eyebrows are curved, just like the tentacles of a silkworm moth. Her lips are as red as bright cinnabar.
Her nature is simple, pure, gentle and upright, and her will is relaxed and peaceful. She is in a secluded mountain wonderland, and she wanders around the world.

Creative background:
This song "Gao Fu" has always been regarded as a companion, and the second one has obvious recollection, which should be written by Song Yu when he recalled his youth in his later years.
Ideological theme:
The author of this preface dreamed of the goddess at night, but told the king of Chu Xiang, who ordered him to write a poem. The text first describes the appearance, decoration, manners and the process of the author's rejection of the goddess' courtship, and then describes the state of the goddess' departure and the author's yearning for her.
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. His masterpiece is Goddess Fu.
