南有乔木，不可休思，语出《国风.周南.汉广》，南方的乔木很高大，但是却不能在下面乘凉遮阴。讲述的是追求女子而不能得，抒发一种苦闷的心情。
诗经中的周南地区，泛指今天河南西南部以及湖北西北部，也就是我的家乡。今天是中部，在上古时期可是不折不扣的南方了。
南，是个象形字，看起来就是一个大钟。其实，南字本身，就表示一种乐器，也指一种官爵。慢慢地，就演变为专指与北方相对的方向。在古代，南，代表一种未知和神秘，黄河流域的发达文明，对长江流域，持有一种异国情怀，那里，草木繁盛，那里山水泽国，那里，美人如玉。
有，用的是金文，是个会意字，也就是两个独体字结合在一起表达一个意思，右手抓着一块肉（月），表示收获、活得，这个比两个手空空要好得多。也就是与无字相对的意思。肉，可是个好东西，肉食者，也就是统治者，上古时候，大概先民们也不常吃肉吧。即使有肉，也不容易吃，毕竟烹煮的器具，也就是青铜器，都掌握在贵族手中。所以生在现代，如果不是特别影响身体健康，有肉的时候，还是好好享受一番为妙。
乔，本来是个指事字，指事字是说不方便象形的时候，就用一种抽象的方法来表示，一般是在象形字的基础上增加或者减少笔画。乔字，本意是高，城楼之上站一人，谓之乔。
木，就是个典型的象形字。简单、朴实。木质器具，在如今的时代，更代表一种回归古意、回归自然的情愫。
不，本意是花萼，所以最初，它是个象形字。文字的演变就是这么奇妙，到了后来，它成了一个副词，表示否定。
可，和现在的写法没有什么大的区别，用嘴巴来吹奏，最初，它代表一种乐器。
休，是个会意字，左边一个人，右边一棵树，不就是在树下休息打盹吗。也表示一种愉悦的心情，这个在诗经的其他篇章里有所体现。
思，在这里是语气词。这个字，长得不太好看，不知道其他人怎么看。
乔木虽不可休，但却可以欣赏。好的女子，也不是一定要娶回家的，相逢便是一场缘分，记住一些美好的事情，放在心里。谁的人生，能没有一点遗憾呢。
Oracle bones are a type of artifact found in archaeological sites in several parts of the world, but they are best known as a significant characteristic of the Shang dynasty [1600-1050 BC] in China. Oracle bones were used to practice a specific form of divination, fortune-telling, known as pyro-osteomancy. Osteomancy is when shamans (religious specialists) divine the future from the pattern of the natural bumps, cracks, and discolorations in animal bone and turtle shell. Osteomancy is known from prehistoric east and northeast Asia and from North American and Eurasian ethnographic reports.The subset of osteomancy called pyro-osteomancy is the practice of exposing animal bone and turtle shell to heat and interpreting the resulting cracks. Pyro-osteomancy is conducted primarily with animal shoulder blades, including deer, sheep, cattle, and pigs, as well as turtle plastrons--the plastron or undercarriage of a turtle being flatter than its upper shell called the carapace. These modified objects are called oracle bones, and they have been found in many domestic, royal and ritual contexts within Shang Dynasty archeological sites. The production of oracle bones is not specific to China, although the largest number recovered to date are from Shang Dynasty period sites. Rituals describing the process of creating oracle bones were recorded in Mongolian divination manuals dated to the early 20th century. According to these records, the seer cut a turtle plastron into a pentagonal shape and then used a knife to incise certain Chinese characters into the bone, depending on the seeker's questions. A twig of burning wood was repeatedly inserted into the grooves of the characters until a loud cracking noise was heard, and a radiating pattern of cracks produced. The cracks would be filled with India ink to make them easier for the shaman to read for important information about the future or current events.
