1.
There are guis and daggers, and there are thorns and daggers. The road of Zhou is as straight as an arrow.
What a gentleman does is what a villain does. The family members took care of it and shed tears.
From the anonymous "Xiaoya·Dadong" in the pre-Qin Dynasty
Interpretation:
Although the farmer's round gui is filled with cooked food, it is made of thorn branches. Bent key. The road to Beijing is as flat as a grindstone and as straight as an arrow. The princes and nobles can stroll on it, but the common people can only stare at it with empty eyes. I look back on these things with sadness and indignation, and I can’t help but burst into tears and my clothes get wet.
2.
The deer roars, and the apples in the wild are eaten. I have guests who play the harp and sheng.
Playing the sheng, drums and reeds, carrying the basket is the general. People who are kind to me show me how to behave.
From the anonymous "Xiaoya·Lu Ming" in the pre-Qin Dynasty
Interpretation:
A group of deer were barking and eating mugwort in the wilderness. I have a group of good guests who play the harp and sheng to tune the music. Playing the reed of the sheng pipe, holding a basket and offering gifts thoughtfully. People are so kind to me and follow my instructions.
3.
The worry in my heart is like that. Is the righteousness of today so serious?
It is better to destroy the fire than to destroy it? The illustrious Zong Zhou, Bao Si destroyed him!
From the anonymous "Xiaoya·First Month" of the Pre-Qin Dynasty
Interpretation:
The sorrow in my heart is deep and long, like a knot that cannot be untied. It’s really hard to explain today’s politics, why are they becoming more and more violent? When a fire breaks out, who can put it out? The glorious Zhou Dynasty, Bao Si actually put it out.

Song Gao Weiyue, the horse is as high as the sky. Weiyue descended from the gods, and Shenfu and Shen were born.
Weishen Jifu, Weizhou Zhihan. The four kingdoms were in Tibet. Quartet Yu Xuan.
From the anonymous "Book of Songs·Daya" in the pre-Qin Dynasty
Interpretation:
The four majestic mountains are mountains, towering into the sky. The spiritual energy of the gods descended on the four mountains, and Fu Hou Shen Bo was born in the human world. Shen Bofuhou, a great sage, assisted the royal family and Guozhenqian. The vassal state uses him as a shield, and the world uses him as a wall.
5.
Since Zhou Zong was destroyed, the violence was stopped. The official is away from home, so he doesn't know what I am doing.
A doctor with three things is unwilling to stay up late. The kings and princes are not willing to spend time day and night.
The common people are called Shi Zang, and it is evil to overthrow them.
From the anonymous "Yu Wuzheng" of the Pre-Qin Dynasty
Interpretation:
The clan of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been destroyed, and there is no place to stay anywhere. The high-ranking officials were scattered in exile, and they did not understand my labor and sorrow at all. Those senior officials, including Situ Gongqing, were unwilling to get up early and stay up late to work on state affairs. All the kings and princes of the states are unwilling to accompany the king day and night. Those ordinary people were originally very kind, but they turned out to be evil and rebelled against the court.
