Translation

Sentence 27 : (Emma)


Rice, sorghum, prosomillet, millet are that which are sacrificed to proffer abundance. Soy beans, mung beans, wheat, barley, millet, there is nothing among then that does not nourish people's lives. Therefore among all grasses, among them planted millet is the most important. Those that are violating frost and snow, not withering, going through the four seasons making the spring longer. Among pine trees and nut pines they are the most precious.

Sentence 28 : Nadia Azberger


Pear, chestnut, persimmon, [and] jujube are fruit whose tastes are not that they are not good [but] those of sweet fragrance such as tangerines and citrons are precious.
Radish, turnip, all various gourd kinds are vegetables whose tastes are not that they are not a lot [but] those with fierce hot taste such as mustard and ginger are important.

  • Discussion Questions:

Other than tangerines and citrons smelling sweeter than the other mentioned fruit, could another reason for them to be considered precious be related to location? What are other reasons for tangerines/citrons and mustard/ginger considered more important and/or treasures. Is it simply because of taste? Was there economic or agricultural reasons as well?
(YO) For "梨栗柿棗之果, 味非不佳也," we would have to take the first half as the topic: "As for (such) fruits (as) pears, chestnuts, persimmons, and jujubes, it is not that (their) taste are not good." The same goes to the next line. Tangerines and citron being precious may be because of their location--them being difficult to grow in Korea, as well as the fact that they are not that tasty even if they could grow them--as Nadia said. I was told that they made 유자차 (citron tea, crushed citrons preserved in honey) because citrons were not tasty as they were. Mustards and ginger might not have been rare or difficult to grow. We find records of them having been used and grown since as early as the Silla period. In this case, the fact that they are used as spices is the intention of the line, I think.

Sentence 29 : I.Yi


As for flowers of plants and trees of water and land, those that can be loved are extremely numerous. Tao Yuanming loved chrysanthemums and Zhou Lianxi loved lotuses. As for people of prosperity and glory, they greatly love peonies.

Because Yuanming was a recluse, people liken the chrysanthemum to a recluse. Because Lianxi was a gentleman, people liken the lotus to a gentleman. Because the peony is the most splendid among the flowers, people liken peonies to prosperous, glorious and wealthy people.



  • Discussion Questions:

(YO) Perhaps we should introduce who Tao Yuanming and Zhou Lianxi were?
