Translation of Xiaoya Beishan in The Book of Songs

Translation of The Book of Songs Xiaoya Beishan;

Climb the high North Mountain and pick Lycium barbarum on the mountain.

A well-constructed taxi. Work from morning till night.

Wang's errand is not over yet, and I'm worried that my parents will lose their services.

Every inch of land in the world is not the land of the king.

There are ministers everywhere, not princes.

Doctors are always assigned unfairly, and my work is very heavy.

Four horses are running like crazy, and Wang is always in a hurry.

Praise me for being old and strong.

I am strong and energetic, and I am sent to work hard and travel around.

Some people sit comfortably at home, while others devote themselves to the kingdom.

Some people lie on their backs, while others are in a hurry.

Some people don't respond to the call, and some people are very tired and troubled.

Some people had a good time and slept soundly, while others worked hard.

Some people like to drink, while others are afraid of being accused.

Some people talk nonsense, while others do everything.

Original text:

If you look at Beishan, you can learn from it.

We work day and night with scholars.

Wang is very anxious and worried about my parents.

Under the sky, is it not the land of kings?

Is leading the land king?

There are different doctors, and I am engaged in unique talents.

Four Ma Pengpeng, the king has the final say.

I am not old, but we will.

The brigade is powerful and fights in all directions.

Or Yan Yan lives in the interests, or does his best to die;

Or in bed, or in line.

Or I don't know the call sign, or I'm miserable;

Or live late to suppress poplar, or Zhang.

Or drink, or fear;

Either in the wind or out of the wind, or do nothing.

Appreciate:

"Beishan" describes a scholar who is busy with the affairs of the king day and night and expresses resentment at the uneven work and rest in society. The contrast method is mainly used in the poem, which makes a detailed and multifaceted comparison between work and rest, highlighting the theme of the poem. Twelve "or" words are used together to form parallelism, which enhances the expressive force of poetry and pours out a cavity of grief and indignation. It is an irresistible portrayal of the poet's inner feelings and a natural gush, and at the same time it comes to an abrupt end, making him full of fun.
