詩經國風之召南：第四篇

　　15. 采蘋 cai ping

　　于以采蘋、南澗之濱。

　　于以采藻、于彼行潦。

　　于以盛之、維筐及筥。

　　于以湘之、維錡及釜。

　　于以奠之、宗室牖下。

　　誰起尸之、有齊季女。

　　she gathers the large duckweed ,

　　by the banks of the stream in the southern valley .

　　she gathers the pondweed ,

　　in those pools left by the floods .

　　she deposits what she gathers ,

　　in her square baskets and round ones

　　she boils it ,

　　in her tripods and pans .

　　she sets forth her preparations ,

　　under the window in the ancestral chamber .

　　who superintends the business ?

　　it is [this] reverent young lady .
