豳 was the early homeland of the Zhou people, in today's Shaanxi, before they moved to the plain below Mount Qi. The section's seven poems include
七月, the longest poem of the Airs, a calendar of farm work through the year, and
鸱鸮 'The Owl', the source of
未雨绸缪 'to mend the windows before it rains' and
风雨飘摇 'tossed by wind and rain'.
