清 王禮作品：《猫》荐读过

小貓頭，以次排之。未結褵先進婦家，名曰貓腳堂弟。破喉嚨唱書，嘲之名曰老貓聲。貓哭老鼠假善心，疯伤心欲绝人。眠竃名曰偎竃貓。

前人雪獅兒調，詠貓曾将如林，徵引典實各臻灝妙。後有写都以者弗可及其。

友霞五兄戲彚吳諺，填成二闕，予爲寫此并錄一通。后于居士王禮客后于水伊人閣，夜窗秉燭記。

Poem not translated

“A hua mi mi” is the call women use to summon their cats. When you cannot find the person you are looking for, it is like “summoning your cat at night.” The word for a cat howling incessantly in the night is the word used for “erection.” “The cat who sleeps in the dew” is the expression used for men who often stay out all night. The sixth day of the sixth month is Cat and Dog Day. There is a children’s song: “On the sixth day of the sixth month all cats and dogs play by the lake.” On that day all families eat huntun [wanton soup]. People who know a bit about everything but nothing in depth are called “three-footed cats.” In Suzhou the eldest child is called “big cat-head,” the second child “second cat-head,” the third, “third cat-head” and so on, in order. The man who sleeps with your daughter before marriage is known as a “cat-foot-son-in-law.” When one who cannot sing sings, we say “the old cat calls.” A heartless person crying false tears is “a cat who cries for a rat.” The cat who sleeps at the stove [looking for the good life] is the “stove-snuggling cat.”

The “Xueshier diao” [Snow Lion tune] is an old folk tune. There are as many wonderful writings about cats as trees in the forest. But none of the later ones compares with early ones.

For fun, my friend Youxia collected Suzhou proverbs and composed them into these two poems that I he recorded here. Qiu Daoren, Wang Li, recorded this by candlelight at the window of my lodging in the Qiushuiyiren Ge Studio.
