In the previous twenty-eight chapters, there was a line, "Ninety thousand li, the wind lifts the roc. Wind, do not stop, blow the boat to the three mountains." This comes from Li Qingzhao's "Fisherman's Pride." Most book friends should know its meaning, right? After all, it's in the second year of junior high Chinese class.
Also, the line "Fragrant grass on the long embankment, faint music and singing follow everywhere. Without wind, the water surface is smooth as glass, the boat moves without notice," which has appeared a few times, is from Ouyang Xiu's "Picking Mulberries." It's purely descriptive.
Dawn enjoys Chinese literature, so classical texts and poetry might appear frequently. For example, I've quoted sentences from Laozi before, and later, classics like "Free and Easy Wandering" and "Li Sao" might appear (the kind required for the college entrance exam).
So, if you see them, just assume Dawn is having a chuunibyou moment (laughs).
