瑟希鏗爾尚留聲
春暮時剛春服成
冠五六人童六七
舞雩歸詠暢幽情
The zither fades, but one last note still lingers.
It is late spring and the spring clothes have just been made.
Five or six capped men and six or seven boys,
return chanting from the rain altar, at ease in their feelings.
What this lot says
Asked about his hopes, a student describes a spring outing with friends rather than a career. The verse paints the scene.
It is graded high. Read it as a lot of simple pleasure and of being content with the company you have.
A lot is a prompt for reflection. It cannot promise a result, and it is no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.
