The Chung Ssŭ; metaphorical. The fruitfulness of the locust; supposed to celebrate Tai Ssŭ’s freedom from jealousy.
1Ye locusts, wingèd tribes,
Gather in concord fine;
Well your descendants may
In numerous bright hosts shine!
Gather in concord fine;
Well your descendants may
In numerous bright hosts shine!
2Ye locusts, wingèd tribes,
Your wings in flight resound;
Well your descendants may
In endless lines be found!
3Ye locusts, wingèd tribes,
Together cluster strong;
Well your descendants may
In swarms forever throng!
