"The earthy woman" refers to "mundane woman" which means "beauty of the human world"; it therefore does not refer to the beauty from Chu Kingdom, not to mention the king of Chu. "The aloof" refers to beauty from other kingdoms, which indicates kings from other remote kingdoms. "The departed" explicates beauty from other kingdom who left her place and resided in other places; the former place refers to Chu Kingdom whereas the latter other kingdoms except Chu. Shi-yuan expresses his inclination to pursue beauty of other countries, indicating that he has decided to leave Chu Kingdom in order to serve other kings that think alike him. The motif therefore share similarity with that of "Parting" (Li-Shao).
