Books referencing 《七月》 Library Resources
5 七月:
五月斯螽動股、六月莎雞振羽。
七月在野、八月在宇、九月在戶。
十月蟋蟀、入我牀下。
穹窒熏鼠。
塞向墐戶。
嗟我婦子、曰為改歲、入此室處。
Qi Yue:
In the fifth month, the locust moves its legs;
In the sixth month, the spinner sounds its wings.
In the seventh month, in the fields;
In the eighth month, under the eaves;
In the ninth month, about the doors;
In the tenth month, the cricket
Enters under our beds.
Chinks are filled up, and rats are smoked out;
The windows that face [the north] are stopped up;
And the doors are plastered.
' Ah! our wives and children,
' Changing the year requires this :
Enter here and dwell. '
