A Poem from Li Dai to his colleague and dear friend, Du Gu, who pondered on The Virtue of a Woman...
" Was there anything more intoxicating than a Virtuous Woman ?
How even the finest wine wouldn't even match the bliss of her touch...
How should we withdraw from their lips ?
Should we compare The Heavenly Invitation with a Woman Call ?
My Friend, Where are the Virtuous Women ?
I have travelled Ten Thousand Li just to attain them
Where are the women that would die for their parents ?
Where is the so called Filial Piety ?
When her lover died, would she chaste herself and become a Widow?
A good disciple would die for their master, good people would die for their benefactors
That is Heaven's Rule...
I was lost, strayed in the middle of lust and passion
Where should I go ?
Who should I call ?
Ohh.. Love, why is it so tormenting...
How could Huo Yi stay sane
How could The Cowherd wait
1 year felt like 10 years without them, 1 Bu felt like 10 Li without them...
Virtuous Woman, How else would I describe you?
How strong is your love? How tough is your will?
Would you protect and embrace the Man that you loved ?
How much do you value a vow ?
Should The Heaven and Earth put you on trial should you lied ?
Ohh, My Friend, why are we scared ?
There is always footsteps in the desert
Ten-Thousand years old iron tree will bloom
As we are but a passer-by at the Inn of life
Friends and Lovers would surely meet...
But My Friends
Even The Sun, must set eventually.... "
