The full text of The Book of Songs, Xiaoya Xiaoyan?

The western Zhou dynasty anonymous "Xiao Ya Xiao Min", the full text is:

The sky is too depressing, and disaster has befallen our country. The court is so perverse that he can stop at any time. A wily idea comes from the bad side of the game. I think the imperial plan is evil.

Ji Man Jr. looked at his opponent, and I was sad and sad. If there is a good strategy, they will not rely on it. If there are any bad plans, they will all agree. I saw the imperial plan, and I don't know where to get it.

I'm tired of divination, so I'm going to stop talking to me. There are many counselors and consultants, and there is no good opinion. Talk about the court, pointing to who dares to be evil! Just like a travel plan, it really doesn't work halfway.

So plotting my grief, the ancient sages did not follow, and the routine did not follow. The king loves to hear, but superficial views argue. Just like building a palace, of course it won't succeed.

Although the country cannot be measured, people are wise and confused. Although the people are not rich, they have a sense of understanding and a serious way of governing the country. Just like the long river of spring, it will not rot and taste bad!

Dare not fight the tiger with empty hands, dare not cross the river. People only know this danger and don't know other evils. Facing the political situation, I trembled all over, like walking on thin ice in the face of a deep abyss.

Translation:

Heaven is too tyrannical, which brings disaster to the country and people. The imperial court plotted good and evil, and I don't know when to stop. Advice is hard to listen to, and crooked ways emerge one after another. I think the imperial plan really has too many disadvantages.

I'm sad because I'm a little person who talks endlessly to others. If there is any good strategy, they all refuse to follow it. If there are any bad tricks, they will agree. I don't know where I got the court plan.

The psychic turtle was tired of divination and decided not to talk to me again. There are many consultants, but no good opinions. There was a lot of discussion in court, pointing out the disadvantages. Who dares? It's like planning a long trip, but it doesn't work on the way.

Therefore, planning my grief, the ancient sages do not follow suit, and the conventional avenue does not follow. Wang loves obscure words, but shallow opinions are crowded with lawsuits. Just like building a road in the palace, it will definitely not succeed.

Although the country can't cope, people are smart and confused. Although the people are not rich, they are wise, resourceful, well-run and serious. Just like a flowing spring, don't let it rot!

Dare not go to the tiger's mouth empty-handed and dare not cross the river on foot. People only know this danger, but they don't know that other disasters are coming. I tremble before the political situation, just like facing a deep abyss, just like walking on thin ice.
