On the trees go the blows ding-ding ; And the birds cry out ying-ying . One issues from the dark valley , And removes to the lofty tree , While ying goes its cry , Seeking with its voice its companion . Look at the bird , Bird as it is , seeking with its voice its companion ; And shall a man , Not seek to have his friends ? Spiritual beings will then hearken to him ; He shall have harmony and peace .

Xu-xu they go , as they fell the trees . I have strained off my spirits , till they are fine , And the fatted lambs are provided , To which to invite my paternal uncles . It is better that something should keep them from coming , Than that I should not have regarded them . Oh ! brightly I have sprinkled and swept my courtyard , And arranged my viands , with eight dishes of grain , along with my fatted meat , To which to invite my maternal uncles . It is better that something should keep them from coming , Than that there should be blame attaching to me .

They fell down the trees along the hill-side . I have strained off my spirits in abundance ; The dishes stand in rows , And none of my brethren are absent . The loss of kindly feeling among people , May arise from faults in the matter of dry provisions . If I have spirits I strain them , do I ; If I have no spirits , I buy them , do I ; I make the drums beat , do I ; I lead on the dance , do I . Whenever we have leisure , Let us drink the sparkling spirits .

 

Explaination: The poem is to express harmony between relatives and friends.
