| 1 | 曹风: | 蜉蝣，刺奢也。昭公国小而迫，无法以自守，好奢而任小人，将无所依焉。 |
| The mayfly is a satire on extravagance. Zhao Gong's state was small and vulnerable; he lacked the means to defend himself, loved extravagance and entrusted power to petty men, so he would have nowhere to rely. | ||
| 2 | 曹风: | 蜉蝣之羽，衣裳楚楚，兴也。蜉蝣，渠略也。朝生夕死，犹有羽翼以自修饰，楚楚，鲜明貌，兴者，喻昭公之朝，其羣臣皆小人也。徒整饰其衣裳，不知国将迫胁，君臣死亡之无日，如渠略然也。心之忧矣。于我归处。归，依归也。君当于何依归，言有危亡之难，将无所就往也。 |
| The mayfly's wings, neatly dressed in robes and skirts, is an expression of rising up. The mayfly symbolizes a brief and fleeting life. Born in the morning and dying at night, it still has wings to adorn itself; "Chuchu" means bright and neat. This imagery symbolizes that during Gongzhao's reign, all his ministers were petty men. They merely adorned their clothes and did not realize that the state was about to be threatened, with no day left for the ruler and ministers but death, just like a fleeting mayfly. My heart is full of sorrow. Where can I return to? Return means to have a place to rely on. The ruler should have nowhere to turn; this implies that there is impending danger of peril and destruction, with no place left to go. | ||
| 3 | 曹风: | 候人，刺近小人也。共公远君子而好近小人焉。 |
| Houren is a satire on the proximity to petty men. Gonggong distanced himself from virtuous men and favored being close to petty men. | ||
| 4 | 曹风: | 彼候人兮，荷戈与祋，候人，道路送迎宾客者也。荷，揭也。祋，殳也。言贤者之官，不过候人也。彼其之子，三百赤芾。芾，韠也。大夫以上，赤芾乘轩之子，是子也。佩赤芾者三百人。 |
| That Houren, carrying a spear and staff, Houren refers to those who greet and see off guests on the road. He means to lift or carry. Dui is a kind of staff weapon, also known as Shu. It means that the office of virtuous men does not go beyond that of Houren. That man's son, three hundred red fuxi (symbols of official rank). Fu means Bi, a ceremonial sash. The sons of officials above the rank of Daifu who wore red Fu and rode in 轩 carriages are these sons. Three hundred people wearing red Fu sashes. |
