吉金父:
Jijin’s father:
The Han people seek the official position with their knowledge and calligraphy,
The students take the entrance examination to win the official rand with teacher’s guiding.
I am doomed to have children with your help the great master,
Just as the mountain will raise heavy smoke when it is on fire,while the smoke and the fire will lead to the bamboo’s growing the shoots.
My wife’s childbearing age is at 44,though at a high age,but the chicken bone divination shows the auspicious sign of“happiness”,with four blooms to bear fruits with the sign of“Flower teasing”.
I am to have a child at such a high age and take in great wealth,which is thousands of pots of money,and it is the heaven that blesses me with such a longevity and the wealth,but it is to you that I owe all the good fortune like the rotten wood turn green.
I am devoting a lot of gold and silver to pay back what you do for me,as soon as I have a son or a daughter in home,just as the sparrow hawk flies the top of the tree and cicada chirps along the road.
