"Knitting needles" reminded me of an old Chinese song,
Very old very old ...
By the ancient Chinese poet "Meng Jiao",
name of Song is "Outing Children's Song" .
Meng Jiao was born in 751 and died in 814.
In modern times,
No less than ten singers who cover to song this "Outing Children's Song",
Its lyrics are as follows ...

The lyrics are ancient Chinese,
I can't translate Old Chinese,
So I use modern vernacular,
After using Google Translate,
The Song are as follows ...

Kind mother
The child is going out.
Mother holding the knitting needles,
Busy with knitting clothes that children will wear when they go out.
knitting needles Quickly stitched stitch by stitch,
Afraid of delaying the trip to the children who go out,
Who dares to say that children have no filial piety and will not repay the mother's kindness?

@mariannewest的活动为“ 5分钟免费写”，

“织针”让我想到了中国的一首老歌，
非常非常的古老...
是中国古代的诗人“孟郊”所著，
名之“游子吟”。
孟郊生于西元751年，过世于西元814年。
在近代，
翻唱游子吟的歌手不下十位，
其歌词如下

慈母手中线，游子身上衣
临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归
谁言寸草心，报得三春晖

慈母手中线，游子身上衣
临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归
谁言寸草心，报得三春晖

这歌词是中国的古文，
很多中国人都会唱这首歌，
但可能都不知道这歌词的意思。
所以我翻译了一下，
翻译成现代的白话文。
如下...

慈祥的母亲，
孩子要出门了。
母亲拿着线，
忙着编织孩子在出门时所要穿的衣服。
赶紧的一针一针的缝着，
怕耽误到外出的孩子的行程，
谁敢说孩子们没有孝心，不会报答母亲的恩情呢？
