蟋蟀在堂,岁聿其莫。今我不乐,日月其除。无已大康,职思其居。好乐无荒,良士瞿瞿。· The cricket chirping in the hall,| The year will pass away.| The present not enjoyed at all,| We'll miss the passing day. | Do not enjoy to excess | But do our duty with delight! | We'll enjoy ourselves none the less | If we see those at left and right.
(“The Cricket”,The Book of Poetry [Compiled in the Spring and Autumn Period])
