《ZHENG YUE》
Poet: Qi Fuzhishen

  In the first month [of summer] the hoar-frost abounds,
  And my heart is wounded with sorrow.
  The false calumnies of the people,
  Also wax greater and greater.
  I think how I stand alone,
  And the sorrow of my heart grows intense.
  Alas! through my anxious cares,
  My hidden sorrow goes on to make me ill.
  
  Ye parents who gave me birth!
  Was it to make me suffer this pain?
  [Why was this time] not before me?
  Or [why was it] not after me?
  Their good words are [only] from the mouth;
  Their bad words are [only] from the mouth.
  The sorrow of my heart becomes greater,
  And because of this I incur contempt.
  
  My sorrow heart is very sad;
  I think of my unfortunate position.
  The innocent people,
  Will all be reduced to servitude with me.
  Alas for me!
  From whom shall I henceforth get support?
  I see a crow which will rest,
  -- But on whose house?
  
  Look into the middle of the forest;
  There are [only] large faggots and small branches in it.
  The people now amidst their perils,
  Look to Heaven, all dark.
  But let its determination be fixed,
  And there is none whom it will not overcome.
  There is the great God, --
  Does He hate any one?
  
  If one say of a hill that it is low,
  There are its ridges, and its large masses.
  The false calumnies of the people, --
  How is it that you do not repress them?
  You call those experienced ancients;
  You consult the diviner of dreams:
  They all say, " We are wise;
  But who can distinguish the male and female crow? "
  
  We say of the heavens that they are high,
  But I dare not but stoop under them.
  We say of the earth that it is thick,
  But I dare not but walk daintily on it.
  For my freely expressing myself thus,
  I have reason, I have good ground.
  Alas for the men of this time!
  Why are they such cobras and efts?
  
  Look at that rugged and stony field; --
  Luxuriantly rises in it the springing grain!
  [But] Heaven moves and shakes me,
  As if it could not overcome me.
  They sought me [at first] to be a pattern [to them],
  [Eagerly] as if they could not get me.
  [Now] they regard me with great animosity,
  And will not use my strength.
  
  My heart with its sorrow,
  Feels as if it were tied and bound by something.
  This government of the present time, --
  How oppressive it is!
  The flames, when they are blazing,
  May still perhaps be extinguished;
  But the majestic honoured capital of Zhou,
  Is being destroyed by Si of Bao.
  
  This issue is ever my anxious thought.
  Moreover, you have the embarrassment of soaking rain.
  Your carriage is loaded,
  And if you throw away your wheel-aids,
  Your load will be overturned,
  And you will be crying, " O sir, help me! "
  
  If you do throw away your wheel-aids,
  Which give asistance to the spokes;
  And if you constantly look after the driver,
  You will not overturn your load,
  And in the end will get over the most difficult places;
  But you have not thought of this.
  
  The fish are in the pond,
  But they cannot enjoy themselves.
  Although they dive to the bottom,
  They are very clearly seen.
  My sorrow heart is deeply pained,
  When I think of the oppression in the kingdom.
  
  They have their good spirits,
  And their fine viands along with them.
  They assemble their neighbours,
  And their relatives are full of their praise.
  When I think of my solitariness,
  My sorrowing heart is full of distress.
  
  Mean-like, those have their houses;
  Abjects, they will have their emoluments.
  But the people now have no maintenance.
  For Heaven is pounding them with its calamities,
  The rich may get through,
  But alas for the helpless and solitary!

  Prince said Qin Suizhong ritual, it has to December to December. Royal Emperor then said political taboo, so the first month of the sign read so far.
  The reason why the mean is called the twelfth lunar month in December, because in ancient times this month is the day with bacon worship their ancestors; reason to sign the first month called March, in order to evade the name of Emperor Ying Zheng's "positive" tone.
  The first day of Chinese New Year, people used to refer to this day as the first day. The first month of lunar calendar is not called in January and called the "first month", how is this all about? In ancient China, one month each year when the first month, which is sometimes replaced with the change of dynasties. Before the Han dynasty, each for a dynasty, they often change the order of the month again. It is said that the Xia Dynasty Shang Dynasty to the provisions of the December count as the first month of each year, and again in November Zhou counted as the first month of each year. After Qin Shi Huang unified the world, again in October count as the first month of each year, until the Han dynasty Han dynasty, the Xia Dynasty was restored in January alignment method has been in use until now. This generations dynasty changed the order of the month, put the first month after the change called "the first month." "Positive" is the correct meaning. In their view, since they were the emperor, home of the anteroposterior, the order of twelve months a year, they have to follow them "is" over. Since "positive" is meant to correct, then the first month of the "positive" word, it should read as "correct" and "positive" pronunciation, why do people treat it read "Long March" and "sign" pronunciation it? First Emperor wins were a result of political name, he felt "positive" with the pronunciation of the word homophone of his name, said to be guilty of a taboo to order the "first month" read "positive (sign) months."
