Translation

Sentence 23 : Hector Sanchez


As for what is born in the spring and dies in the fall, this is the grass. As for what (i.e, the things that) if it is fall, its leaves fall off and when it is spring, once again flourish grandly, these are the trees.

Their leaves are green and jade-colored. Their flowers are of five colors. As for [the things whose] roots are deep, their branches and leaves are necessarily splendid.

As for their having flowers, they necessarily have fruits.

  • Discussion Questions:

HS: What could be a good universal translation for 其有...者?
(YO) How about "those that which have..." or "those for which there is..."?

Sentence 24 : Olga



Tigers, leopards, rhinoceros [and] elephants - are a category [of animals] that dwell in the mountains;
Cows, horses, chickens [and] dogs - are things which are raised at home.
With cows - [we] plow and cultivate, with horses - [we] ride [on them] and load [them].
With dogs - [we] guard at night, with chickens - [we] manage the dawn.
[As for] rhinoceros, [we] take its horn; [as for] elephants, [we] take its tusks.
Tigers and leopards, [we] take their skins.


  • Discussion Questions:

(YO) Words like 'and' that we have to use as a convention to list more than two items can be added without [ ]. To a certain degree, so can 'we,' so long as it is not a special case.

Sentence 25 : Nadia Arzberger


In mountains [and] forests, there are not a lot of raised birds [and] beasts; In flowing and standing waters, there are many insects and fish without use, therefore people kill [them] with their strength, people collect [them] with their wit and use their fur, feathers, bones, [and] horns';and provide food and drink for sacrifice or guests.

  • Discussion Questions:

As discussed in class, should we translate the last couple of characters as "provide sacrifices to offer, provide for guests, and provide drink and food" or as above or is there another way?
(YO) Seeing it again, I think the way you translated is better than viewing the three all separately. Or, we may consider "provide for sacrifices or for food and drink to receive guests with"?

Sentence 26 : Nadia Arzberger


Among walking beasts, there is the Kirin (Ch: Qilin); among flying birds, there is the BongHwang (Ch: fenghuang) there; among insects and fish, there are the Spirit Tortoise (Ling Gui) and the Flying Dragon (Fei Long); These four things are the only ones that which have spirits and [are] extraordinary; Therefore, sometimes they come out during the time of the sage kings.

  • Discussion Questions:

So within walking beasts there is the kirin and in the birds there is the bonghwang, but within the fish and insects there are two. Would you argue that the spirit tortoise is more insect-like or fish-like? The same for the Flying Dragon?
(YO) Interesting question about categories. In many premodern Chinese encyclopedias, the categorization of dragon is not always stable. In the Shiwen leiju 事文類聚 dragon is under linchong 鱗蟲 'scaled critters', but in the Taiping yulan 太平御覽 it is under linjie 鱗介 'those with scales'. In some cases, it is under 'auspices'. But it seems dragon was viewed as connected with fish, as the story of Denglongmen 登龍門 (Kr. Tŭngyongmun)--fish competes to pass the gate to become dragons--has it.
