Translation
Going down the river to look for her, she seems to be in the middle of the water
Original poem
Jianjia
"The Book of Songs" (Pre-Qin Dynasty)
The jianjia is green and the white dew is like frost. The so-called beauty is on the water side. If you follow it back, the road will be long and blocked. Traveling back from it, Wan is in the middle of the water. The jianjia is luxuriant, and the white dew is still shining. The so-called beauty is on the water. If you follow it back, the road will be blocked and you will be able to advance. If you go back and swim from it, you will feel like you are swimming in the water. The jianjia is collected, and the white dew has not stopped. The so-called beauty is in the river of water. Go back from the road, resistance and right. If you go back and swim from it, you will be swimming in the water.
