The Song of the Southern Hills --
Dancing sleeves whirling in the spring breeze.
An auspicious atmosphere fills the yard by the steps.
Host, guests laughing and sharing their joy.

Line one: The "Song of the Southern Hills" is likely an allusion to a poem in Shih ching titled 天保 (T'ien Pao, "Heaven Protects"), composed to confer blessings and praise upon the king and his ancestors: "Like the moon advancing to the full,/ Like the sun ascending the heavens,/ Like the age of the southern hills,/ Never waning, never falling,/ Like the luxuriance of the fir and the cypress;--/ May such be thy succeeding line!" See James Legge, trans., The She King or the Book of Poetry, The Chinese Classics, vol.4, Southern Materials Center, Inc., Taipei, 1985; rpt. of the Oxford U.P. ed., 1935, p. 257. See also SBK 77, below, which contains the same allusion.
  Nan-shan, as a proper noun, exists as an alternate name for an actual mountain named Chung-nan shan 終南山, located near Sian (Xian) - site of the ancient city of Ch'ang-an. There is also mention of a "Nan-shan" in one of T'ao Ch'ien's famous wine-drinking poems, where it actually refers to Lu-shan 廬山, a mountain near his home in Kiangsi 江西 province. However, in the present this and other instances, the expression "southern hills" appears to functions simply as a generic poetic image connoting strength and endurance. See Kanshi no jiten, pp. 691 - 93 on the various usages of the Nan-shan image in Chinese poetry.
