Le plus ancien recueil connu de poésie chinoise, plus de trois cents chansons, odes et hymnes. Tr. Legge (en) et Granet (fr, incomplète).
Every plant is yellow ;
Every day we march.
Every man is moving about,
Doing service in some quarter of the kingdom.
Every plant is purple ;
Every man is torn from his wife.
Alas for us employed on these expeditions !
How are we alone dealt with as if we were not men ?
We are not rhinoceroses, we are not tigers,
To be kept in these desolate wilds.
Alas for us employed on these expeditions !
Morning and night we have no leisure.
The long-tailed foxes,
May keep among the dark grass.
And our box-carts,
Keep moving along the great roads.
Legge 234
