Mr. Guo is more backward than Han Yu[2],
And cannot match Liu Zongyuan[3].
Though his name is Communist[4],
He worships Confucius the Second[5].

[1] "Presented" means respectfully submitted. "Mr. Guo" is a respectful term for Guo Moruo.
[2] "From" means following. "Han" refers to Han Yu. Han Yu (768–824) was a Tang Dynasty writer and philosopher, courtesy name Tuizhi, from Heyang in Henan (south of present-day Meng County, Henan). He claimed ancestral prestige from Changli and was commonly known as Han Changli. In earlier times, he was ranked first among the "Eight Great Prose Masters of the Tang and Song." His works survive in the Collected Works of Mr. Changli.
[3] "Cannot match" means falling short of. Liu Zongyuan (773–819) was a Tang Dynasty writer and philosopher, courtesy name Zihou, from Jie in Hedong (present-day Jiezhou Town, Yuncheng County, Shanxi), commonly known as "Liu Hedong."
[4] "Called" means named. "Name" refers to the title. "Communist" here means a member of the Communist Party.
[5] "Worships" means reveres and admires. "Confucius the Second" is a playful term for Mr. Confucius the Second, a mocking reference to Confucius. Here, for reasons of syllable count and rhythm, the character for "Mister" is omitted. Confucius (551–479 BC) was a thinker, statesman, and educator of the late Spring and Autumn period, and the founder of Confucianism. His given name was Qiu, courtesy name Zhongni, and he was the second-born in his family. He was from Zouyi in the state of Lu (southeast of present-day Qufu, Shandong). He gathered disciples to teach and engaged in political activities. At the age of fifty, he rose from magistrate of Zhongdu in Lu to Minister of Justice and acted as prime minister. Later, he traveled through various states but was never employed. Tradition holds that he had 3,000 disciples in succession, of whom over 70 were renowned. Confucius vigorously promoted the doctrine of "benevolence." He pioneered the practice of private lecturing. Politically, he advocated the concept of "rectifying names." He promoted "rule by virtue" and "moral education," opposing harsh governance and arbitrary punishment. From the Han Dynasty onward, Confucian doctrine became the orthodox core of feudal culture for over 2,000 years, exerting immense influence. Feudal rulers consistently revered him as a "sage." The extant Analects records Confucius's conversations and his dialogues with his disciples.
