The Right here refer to a well-known poem, written in Chinese, from the Wakan Rōeishū 和漢朗詠集(‘Anthology of Japanese and Chinese Poems to Sing’) by Yoshishige no Yasutane 慶滋保胤 (931?-1002) which, in turn, builds on an earlier famous Chinese poem. Yasutane’s poem is:
班姫裁扇応誇尚
列子懸車不往還
‘Lady Pan has made her fan – now, truly, may she boast of it, for
Master Lieh, upon his carriage, no longer travels back and forth’
Lady Pan (Pan Chieh-yü 班婕妤) (fl. ca. 48 B.C.) was an imperial concubine known for a poem in which she compares herself to a paper fan abandoned at the beginning of autumn. Master Lieh (Lieh Tzu 列子) was a Daoist immortal said to be able to ride the wind.
