Books referencing 《吉日》 Library Resources
1 吉日:
吉日维戊、既伯既祷。
田车既好、四牡孔阜。
升彼大阜、从其群丑。
Ji Ri:
A lucky day was wu,
And we sacrificed on it to the Ruler [of horses], and prayed.
Our hunting carriages were good;
The team for each was in fine condition.
We would ascend the greatest heights,
And pursue the herds [of the game].

2 吉日:
吉日庚午、既差我马。
兽之所同、麀鹿麌麌。
漆沮之从、天子之所。
Ji Ri:
A lucky day was geng-wu.
We had selected our horses;
The haunts of the animals,
Where the does and stags lay numerous,
The grounds by the Qi and the Ju, -
That was the place for the son of Heaven [to hunt].

3 吉日:
瞻彼中原、其祁孔有。
儦儦俟俟、或群或友。
悉率左右、以燕天子。
Ji Ri:
We looked to the midst of the plain,
Where the animals were large and abundant,
Now rushing about, now waiting together,
Here in threes, there in twos.
We led on all our attendants,
To give pleasure to the son of Heaven.

4 吉日:
既张我弓、既挟我矢。
发彼小豝、殪此大兕。
以御宾客、且以酌醴。
Ji Ri:
We have bent our bows;
We have our arrows on the string.
Here is a small boar transifixed;
There is a large rhinoceros killed.
The spoil will be presented to the visitors and guests,
Along with the cup of sweet wine.
