第5章 七绝(1)

湖南泸溪,1949

日丽风和集市开,

乡间少女赶场来,

笑声几处因何起,

花布缝裙巧手裁。

注:

泸溪是苗族聚居的一个县城。

A Seven-character Quatrain

—Luxi, Hunan, 1949

A sunny and breezy day hails the fair,

Country girls gather for the jolly affair.

How come laughters here and there?

Cloth made into dresses by a hand rare.

Note:

Luxi is a county inhabited by the Miao ethnic group.
