Here Is a love poem

Guan! Guan! cry the fish hawks

From Zhounan

Guan! guan! Cry the fish hawks

on sandbars in the river:

a mild mannered girl,

fine match for the gentleman.

 

A ragged fringe is the floating-heart,

left and right we trail it:

that mild mannered good girl,

awake,asleep, I search for her.

 

I search but can not find her,

awake ,asleep, thinking of her,

`endlessly, endlessly

turning and tossing from side to side.

 

A ragged fringe is the floating-heart,

left and right we pick it:

the mild mannered good girl,

bell and drum delight her.

 

There also was a famous writer who lived in the Zhou dynasty

his name was Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu wrote many poems that meant that

you should be good and behave but do that in your own way.

 

That is all we got for literature. We hope you like the information here but now its time to go to some different information about the Zhou dynasty.
