Ep4. ともだちの いえから かえるとき どう あいさつする？おつかれさまです、の ほんとうの いみは？

提起甘肃，人们脑海中很少会出现车水马龙的繁华或花红柳树的秀美。When it comes to Gansu, the bustling traffic and the beauty of red flowers and willows rarely appear in people's minds.
十有八九会浮现出很多历久弥新、脍炙人口的诗词佳句。Nine times out of ten, there will be a lot of old and popular poetry sentences.
比如：such as
《诗经》中有一首叫《蒹葭（jiān jiā）》的诗歌这样写道：There is a poem in the Book of Songs called "jian jia" that goes like this:
（《诗经》是中国最早的诗歌集，收集于西周初年至春秋中叶（即前11世纪至前6世纪）。The Book of Songs is the earliest poetry collection in China, which was collected from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn period. (i.e. from the 11th century BC to the 6th century BC）
蒹葭苍苍，白露为霜。Reeds green, white dew for frost.
所谓伊人，在水一方。The beautiful girl is on the other side of the water.

Shule Yetu Jukumu Letu
