He pōtae e mau ana i te upoko o te hōia; Ngā pōtae tapu i runga i ngā upoko o ngā pirihimana; Ngā pōtae ataahua o ngā mannequins i runga i te atamira; Me te hunga e hikoi ana i ngā tiriti o ngā tāne me ngā wāhine ataahua i runga i te upoko o aua pōtae whakapaipai; He pōtae mārō a te kaimahi hanga. Me ērā atu mea, me ērā atu mea.
I roto i ēnei pōtae maha, ko ngā pōtae kakau witi taku e tino pai ai.
Ko te pōtae kakau witi anake kāore i whakakakahuria, i whakapaipaihia; kei te mau tonu te mahi nui rawa atu i mua, ā, kei te mau tonu tana mahi — te whakamarumaru i te rā.
Ko te pōtae kakau witi, i roto i tōna āhua, he rangatira, he māmā hoki.
He pōtae kakau witi, kāore e uaua te tiki, me whai rau torutoru noa iho i te ringa, he paihere witi witi rānei, ka taea e koe te hanga i tētahi mea māmā noa iho, kaua e whati te pōtae kakau witi o te māmā noa iho, hei whakarato i tētahi tohu o te harikoa, te hauhautanga, te whakahauora hoki mō tō haerenga roa, mō tō mahi rānei.
Heoi, he pōtae kakau witi māmā noa iho, engari i roto i te awa roa o ngā tau ka pāngia e te hukapapa me te hukarere, te hau me te ua e pupuhi ana; I raro i te rā werawera pērā i te ahi e tunu ana, te werawera werawera o ngā kaimahi e maka ana; Me te manawa e manawa ana pērā i te kau.
Kāore anō kia tirohia e au te rā o te pōtae kakau witi. Engari e mōhio ana ahau, mai i te rā tuatahi o tōna whānautanga, ka tae atu ki te hunga e ngākau nui ana, e turuturu ana i te werawera o ngā kaimahi hei whakarato i te hauhautanga me te harikoa.
Ki te titiro tātou ki te hītori, ka rongo tātou kua pā te pōtae kakau witi ki ngā mano tau i roto i te tangi hopu manu a te iwi Yuanmo me te iwi Peking, i roto i te waiata tawhito o "te tapahi rakau Ding Ding Ding", i roto i te tangi o te "yo-yo-ho-ho" a ngā kaiwhai i te taha o te awa o Yangtze me te awa o Kōwhai.
Hurihia te hītori, ka kite tātou i te tokomaha o ngā kaimahi e mau ana i ngā pōtae kakau witi, i hanga te Taiepa Nui piko; I keria he reihi mano rā i te awa nui o Beijing-Hangzhou; I tangohia te maunga o Wangwu me te maunga o Taihang i te ara; I hangaia he awa i hangaia e te tangata, te Awa o te Haki Whero. E hia ngā rā i hipokina ai te pōtae kakau witi, ā, e hia ngā merekara tangata i mahue mai i a tātou.
Me te pōtae kakau witi i runga i tōna mahunga, ka toru ngā wā i haere a Da Yu, he tangata i whakatapua ki te whakahaere wai, i roto i tōna whare, kāore i tomo, ā, i tuhia tōna ingoa toa ki roto i te hītori whakahaere wai o Haina. Kei te mau pōtae kakau witi a Li Bing rāua ko tana tama. Whai muri i ngā tau 18 o te whakahaere uaua, ka whakaatuhia e rāua te upoko tino kanapa o tō rāua ao - a Dujiangyan. Kei te mau pōtae kakau witi a Jiang Taigong, e noho ana i te awa e hī ika ana, e tatari ana kia whakaatu i tana taranata whakamiharo; Kāore a Tao Yuanming e pai ki te piko, kei te mau pōtae kakau witi a Tao Yuanming, e pārekareka ana ki tōna oranga mokemoke…… i roto i tana māra kua whakatōkia ki te chrysanthemums me ngā tipu pīni.
E maumahara ana tātou ki a Chen Sheng, i whakaroahia e te ua nui, ā, i whakaritea kia poutoa tōna upoko i runga i te ture o te Whare Ariki o Qin, i tangohia e ia tōna pōtae kakau witi i te tihi o tōna matenga i te whenua o Daze Township, ā, i hamama nui ki ōna hoa: "He pai ake ki a koutou he purapura?" He maha hoki ngā hoa i pupuri i ō rātou pōtae kakau witi me ngā rākau ki runga i ō rātou ringa, i whakautu nui ki te karanga a Chen Sheng, i tīmata i te ara o Qin e whakahē ana i te tutu, ā, i whakatuwhera i tētahi whārangi hou i roto i te hītori o Haina.
