Books referencing 《云汉》 Library Resources
2 云汉:
旱既大甚、蕴隆虫虫。
不殄禋祀、自郊徂宫。
上下尊瘗、靡神不宗。
后稷不克、上帝不临。
耗斁下土、宁丁我躬。
Yun Han:
'The drought is excessive;
Its fervours become more and more tormenting.
I have not ceased offering pure sacrifices;
From the border altars I have gone to the ancestral temple.
To the [Powers] above and below I have presented my offerings and then buried them:
There is no Spirit whom I have not honoured.
Hou-ji is not equal to the occasion;
God does not come to us.
This wasting and ruin of our country, -
Would that it fell [only] on me!
