There are trees in the mountains, and there are branches on the trees. I don't know where you come from.

From Liu Xiang's "On the Garden Mountain". According to the book, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Xi, the mother brother of the King of Chu, was playing by the river, and bells and drums were ringing. The boatman is Vietnamese. As soon as the music stopped, he sang a song in Vietnamese with his paddle in his arms. Xi couldn't understand "E Jun Zi" and translated it into "Chu". It's the ballad above. The song sings the deep and sincere love of the Vietnamese people, and the lyrics are pun-intended, euphemistic and implicit. It is the earliest translated poem by China, and it is also the crystallization and witness of the blending of ancient Chu and Yue cultures. It directly influenced the creation of Chu Ci.
