Second, translation.

At the beginning of the poem, first explain the time of sacrifice-because it is a sacrifice to the spring god, the time should be in spring. When the time of kira yamato is in spring, people are prepared to respectfully offer sacrifices to the emperor-the God of Spring-Donghuang Taiyi, so that he can come to the world happily and bring a new atmosphere of revival, life reproduction and vitality to the world. The priest who presided over the sacrifice touched her long sword, arranged her clothes and waited for the arrival of the spring god. .

The first four sentences clearly and concisely write down the time of sacrifice and the worshippers' reverence and devotion to the spring god, and then describe the sacrifices needed for sacrifice: Yao seats to meet the spring god, jade cakes, fragrant grass in Chu and wine and delicacies to entertain the spring god. All this, together with countless voices and drums, tells people that spring is coming. The whole sacrificial atmosphere began to reach a climax.

The last four sentences are the end of the whole poem and the climax of the sacrifice-at this time, the spring god came. "Beautiful clothes"-the beautiful dance of the spring god, and "full of fragrance and beauty"-are the breath and breath of spring brought by the spring god. Greet the people who are expecting, so the bells and drums chime and the flutes chime, which makes the joyful atmosphere reach a climax. The last sentence, "Your heart rejoices in Le Kang", is not only a direct description of the happy expression of the spring god's well-being, but also a happy attitude of people who worship the arrival of the spring god.

Although the whole poem is short in length, it has distinct levels, vivid description and warm atmosphere, giving people a solemn and cheerful feeling, fully expressing people's respect, welcome and hope for the spring god, hoping that the spring god will bless the world and bring good news to human life reproduction and crop growth.
