Classics and Poems | Zuyu – Hunting in high autumn

Translation, Interpretation, Reading: All the Way

The lush reeds,

five wild boars at once,

Awesome, Zuyu!

The dense grass,

five wild boars at once,

Awesome, Zuyu!

“Zu Yu” – hunting in high autumn

Zuyu is the official name of a minor official who manages the royal family or the feudal lords, similar to Bi Ma Wen. This poem is to praise the small official who was in the official position of Zuyu at that time, similar to the praise of the Monkey King Sun Wukong. But I think this is also a poem praising nature, expressed in the way of praising Zu Yu.

Royal gardens usually have good feng shui, good environment and strategic location. For example, the Mulan paddock in the Qing Dynasty is still a tourist attraction that people yearn for. It can be understood that the head of the Mulan paddock is Wu Yu. He managed the paddock very well. Just after the hunting team was assembled and the encirclement was closed, five big wild boars jumped out of the grass, followed by five small wild boars, and the hunters suddenly became excited. Wild boars are big guys, not rabbits or pheasants. The bigger they are, the more they can stimulate people’s nerves. Obviously, it was also exciting to blast out five big wild boars at once during the Zhou Dynasty.

The main reason why the ten wild boars can be driven out is that the management of Zuyu is in place, which has well protected the natural environment and promoted the ecological balance. According to the current point of view, he should be heavily awarded by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. Just like Sun Wukong raised Tianma to be “fat and fat”, “strong in spirit and strong in spirit, and strong in strength”, he should be awarded the best breeder award.

What a harmonious natural environment.

Ah, Zou Yu! Ah, great saint! ! Ah, of course! ! !

Of course, Zuyu also has other meanings. In the literature, Zuyu is still a kind of benevolent beast. “Mao Shi Gu Xun Biography”: “Zu Yu, righteous beast, white tiger and black text, does not eat living things, and should have the virtue of faith.”
