The Zhan family had a scholar who taught for a living, and his daughter loved teaching too.
She isn't merely repeating what others have said; she is learning from those worthy of admiration.
Thus it goes:
Upright in word and deed as the green bamboo, quick-witted and clever as the jade tree.
She has no love for sitting at home; wherever she goes, she can teach well.
Though the road ahead is full of hardships, the night before her eyes has already given way to dawn.
One day, the sun will rise over the eastern hills, and her name will be known throughout the land.
