Books referencing 《七月》 Library Resources
6 七月:
六月食鬱及薁、七月亨葵及菽。
八月剝棗、十月穫稻。
為此春酒、以介眉壽。
七月食瓜、八月斷壺、九月叔苴、采荼薪樗。
食我農夫。
Qi Yue:
In the sixth month they eat the sparrow-plums and grapes;
In the seventh, they cook the Kui and pulse,
In the eighth, they knock down the dates;
In the tenth, they reap the rice;
And make the spirits for the spring,
For the benefit of the bushy eyebrows.
In the seventh month, they eat the melons;
In the eighth, they cut down the bottle-gourds;
In the ninth, they gather the hemp-seed;
They gather the sowthistle and make firewood of the Fetid tree;
To feed our husbandmen.
