"A pure heart like a piece of ice"
The lines are taken from "A Poem in Accordance with the Song of the White Hair."by Bao Zhao of the Southern Song Dynasty,
直如朱糸縄 清如玉壷氷
My heart is straight as a red silk rope,clear as ice in a beautiful jewel-like vase.
≪The following is a part of the continuation ≫
何慙宿昔意 猜恨坐相仍
人情賤恩旧 世議逐衰興
Why do we have to be ashamed of past grudges?Doubts and resentments keep coming one after another.People cherish old obligations.Morality in the world gradually declines.
