楚茨 - Chu Ci

English translation: James Legge [?]
Books referencing 《楚茨》 Library Resources
1 楚茨:
楚楚者茨、言抽其棘。
自昔何為、我蓺黍稷。
我黍與與、我稷翼翼。
我倉既盈、我庾維憶
以為酒食、以饗以祀。
以妥以侑、以介景福。
Chu Ci:
Thick grew the tribulus [on the ground],
But they cleared away its thorny bushes.
Why did they this of old?
That we might plant our millet and sacrificial millet;
That our millet might be abundant,
And our sacrificial millet luxuriant.
When our barns are full,
And our stacks can be counted by tens of myriads,
We proceed to make spirits and prepare viands,
For offerings and sacrifice;
We seat the representatives of the dead, and urge them to eat:
Thus seeking to increase our bright happiness.
