| 3 | 七月: |
七月流火、八月萑葦。 蠶月條桑、取彼斧斨、以伐遠揚、猗彼女桑。 七月鳴鵙、八月載績。 載玄載黃、我朱孔陽、為公子裳。 |
| Qi Yue: |
In the seventh month, the Fire Star passes the meridian; In the eighth month are the sedges and reeds. In the silkworm month they strip the mulberry branches of their leaves, And take their axes and hatchets, To lop off those that are distant and high; Only stripping the young trees of their leaves. In the seventh month, the shrike is heard; In the eighth month, they begin their spinning; - They make dark fabrics and yellow. Our red manufacture is very brilliant, It is for the lower robes of our young princes. |
