.. a verse fron the Shi Jing (book of Odes), that maybe even who recites it does not know the sense. Here the text of the Shi Jing:
旄丘之葛兮, 伯兮See Couvreur, p.43:
何誕之節兮, 叔兮。何多日也。
«On this mound where the slope is soft, how the dolichos' stems had extended so far! Why our uncles (ministers of Wei), delay so long time in helping us?»
But the sounds of this ode, read in dialectal pronunciation are enough for exciting the imagination of the hearers: mao-kien (mot shu = hair + viril member), ho tan (xe-tae = black + testicle), ko-ye (koje = to cut), po-ye (paje = to peel)...

O.E. bean "bean, pea, legume," from P.Gmc. *bauno (cf. O.N. baun, Ger. bohne), of unknown origin. As a metaphor for "Something of small value" it is attested from 1297. Meaning "head" is U.S. baseball slang c.1905 (in bean-ball "a pitch thrown at the head"). From: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=bean
《國風 - Lessons from the states》《邶風 - Odes Of Bei》
《旄丘 - Mao Qiu》
旄丘: 旄丘之葛兮、何誕之節兮。
叔兮伯兮、何多日也。
Mao Qiu: The dolichos on that high and sloping mound; -
How wide apart are [now] its joints!
O ye uncles,
Why have ye delayed these many days?
Legge version, from Sturgeon at: http://chinese.dsturgeon.net/text.pl?node=47093&if=en&searchu=誕
Sur cette colline dont le revers est en pente douce, comment les tiges du dolic se sont-elles etendues si loin? Pour quoi nos oncles (les ministres de Wei) tardent-ils si long temps a nous securir?
