This matter has lingered in my mind(耿耿於懷)
(The Book of Songs) is China's earliest
collection of poetry.
There are 305 poems in the book.
The poems were written over a period of 500
years, from the 11th century BC to the 6th century BC.
The content of these poems is mainly
divided into three categories.
The first category is folk poetry from
different parts of China at that time.
The second category is the poetry of the
Zhou Dynasty, which ruled China at that time.
The third category is the sacrificial poems
used by the royal family and nobles of the Zhou dynasty.
At that time, there was a kingdom called
Bei.
A poem from this kingdom is recorded in the
Book of Songs. This poem has five sections, the first of which has the
following general meaning
I took a boat made of cypress wood and let
it float freely in the river.
I came across something that bothered me a
lot, and it stayed in my mind.
I haven't been able to sleep for several
days, and even drinking doesn't make me happy. I just want to stay at home and
don't want to go out.
This saying means that this matter has
always been in my heart.
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts

I hope this story can give you some new
insights.
