伐柯 诗经

伐柯如何，匪斧不克。 取妻如何，匪媒不得。 伐柯伐柯，其则不远。 我觏之子，笾豆有践。

Cutting an axe handle (literal translation)

How to cut an axe handle? Without an axe, it cannot be done. How to take a wife? Without a matchmaker, it cannot be done. Cutting an axe handle, cutting an axe handle, the principle is not far off. I met this man, and the sacrificial vessels were laid out.
