Confucian gentleman's poems

Guan Ju in The Book of Songs

Guan Guan pheasant dove, in Hezhou.

A gentle and graceful girl and a handsome son.

If you make a mistake, flow from left to right.

A gentle and graceful girl, I am eager to take it.

If you can't get it, you can't get it.

Relax, relax, relax.

Take vegetables from the left and right.

A gentle and graceful girl is a friend of the harp and the harp.

If you miss the food, you will be in a dilemma.

A gentle and graceful girl, happy in the sound of bells and drums.
