Qu Yuan and Xili’s poems

Qu Yuan's poem about Xili: Picking Xili is in the water, and plucking the hibiscus is in the wood. If the hearts are different, the matchmaker will work hard, and if the kindness is not great, it will be treated lightly. The stone is shallow and the flying dragon is graceful. If you are unfaithful, you will be resentful. If you do not believe me, you will complain to me and you will not be idle. - "Nine Songs·Xiangjun"

1. Translation:

I went to the stream to pick sedge, and the stream was crystal clear. Seeing the beautiful silhouette of hibiscus in the water, I couldn't help but feel happy.

But I thought to myself: The matchmaker worked hard to propose marriage to me. If I am not deeply in love, how can I get married easily? The rapids are clear and shallow, with flying dragons in the water and butterflies dancing gracefully by the stream. There is no honest heart in dating, and there is no good intention to complain about not fulfilling the engagement; there is no reason to break the appointment, and you miss a good opportunity.

2. Appreciation:

This poem is the second chapter of "The King of Hunan", and together with the first chapter "Mrs. Xiang", it constitutes the complete "Hunan" "Concubine" theme. The poem uses pomelo and hibiscus as images, showing the pursuit and cherishing of love. Picking lychees and hibiscus by the clear stream shows the protagonist's diligence and yearning for a better life.

However, due to the different moods between them, the matchmaker worked in vain and rashly severed the relationship. The rapids are clear and shallow, there are flying dragons in the water, and butterflies dancing gracefully by the stream. These descriptions of natural landscapes further highlight the protagonist's inner loneliness and loss. There is no honest heart in dating, there is no reason for breaking an appointment, and a good opportunity is missed.
