第六拍 (5 columns in standard script) 怪得春光不來久，胡中風土無花柳。 天翻地覆誰得知，如今正南看北斗。 姓名音信兩不通，終日經年常閉口。 是非取與在指撝，言語傳情不如手 。
I resent it that spring is so short here; In the nomad land there are few flowers or willows. Who knows if heaven and earth have not been turned upside down? Here we see the Great Dipper in the south. Since our names, sounds, and signals are wholly different, All day and all year I keep my mouth closed. "Yes" and "no" and accepting and giving things away all depend on finger gestures; For expressing our feelings, speech has become less useful than the hand.

6. The Constellation of the Dipper
Date: 2021-09-06 03:36 am (UTC)怪得春光不來久，胡中風土無花柳。
天翻地覆誰得知，如今正南看北斗。
姓名音信兩不通，終日經年常閉口。
是非取與在指撝，言語傳情不如手 。
I resent it that spring is so short here;
In the nomad land there are few flowers or willows.
Who knows if heaven and earth have not been turned upside down?
Here we see the Great Dipper in the south.
Since our names, sounds, and signals are wholly different,
All day and all year I keep my mouth closed.
"Yes" and "no" and accepting and giving things away all depend on
finger gestures;
For expressing our feelings, speech has become less useful than the hand.
