近现代，中华人民共和国外交部曾数次引用此句。分别是1962年印度军队对中印边境的侵犯和1978年越南军队对中越边境的侵犯。因此被视作中国准备开战的信号。

In modern times, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China has used this phrase several times. In 1962 when Indian troops encroached on the Sino-Indian border and in 1978 when Vietnamese troops encroached on the Sino-Vietnamese border. Therefore it's been seen as a sign that China is preparing to wage war.

那么先看春秋时期，春秋时期的外交辞令简言之就是以“吟诗”为主要形式，这儿的“诗”，指的正是我国第一部诗歌总集《诗经》，《诗经》是周礼的象征，工于委婉，这与外交语言需符合“礼”的观念不谋而合，以至于在《左传》中所记录的外交辞令中“引诗七十五则”，引用《诗经》数量之多也让后人叹为观止。

So, first let's look at the Spring and Autumn Period. In simple terms, the diplomatic rhetoric of the Spring and Autumn Period was mainly in the form of reciting poetry. Here "poetry" refers to China's first anthology of poems, the Book of Songs (Shijing). The Shijing was a symbol for the Rites of Zhou, with its ability for euphemism, this diplomatic language needed to be in line with the concept of rites, to the extent that there are 75 instances of nobles citing poems in diplomatic rhetoric recorded in the Commentary of Zuo, the amount of references to the Shijing is amazing to see looking back.

晋侯设宴招待两位诸侯，为表达欢迎恭敬之意，引用《诗经.大雅.嘉乐》“嘉乐君子，显显令德，宜民宜人，受禄于天”以此来赞美两位诸侯。见此刻气氛不错，陪同齐侯出使的大夫便引用《诗经.小雅.蓼萧》中“既见君子，孔燕岂弟，宜兄宜弟”来表达齐侯是为卫侯而来，也希望晋侯能像对待兄弟一般对待各诸侯。

The Marquis of Jin put on a feast to welcome the two dukes out of respect and quoted Jia Le from the Greater Odes of the Kingdom in the Book Of Songs, "Of our admirable, amiable, sovereign, Most illustrious is the excellent virtue. He orders rightly the people, orders rightly the officers, And receives his dignity from heaven," to praise the two dukes. Seeing that the atmosphere was so good, when he was accompanying the senior official dispatched abroad the Duke of Qi he quoted Liao Xiao in the Minor Odes of the Kingdom in the Book of Songs, "Now that I see my noble men, Grandly we feast, delighted and at ease. May their relations with their brothers be right!" to express that the Duke of Qi had come for the Duke of Wei, and to express hope that the Marquis of Jin would treat the dukes as brothers.

举个例子，《左传·襄公二十七年》中记载，齐景公和郑简公为解救被晋国拘禁的卫献公而带领侍从出使晋国。在如此微妙的外交情境中，其中的外交辞令引用了无数《诗经》之语。
jǔ gè lìzi ，《Zuǒzhuàn ·Xiānggōng èrshí qī nián 》zhōng jìzǎi ，Qíjǐnggōng hé Zhèngjiǎngōng wèi jiějiù bèi jìnguó jūjìn de Wèixiàngōng ér dàilǐng shìcóng chūshǐ jìnguó 。zài rúcǐ wēimiào de wàijiāo qíngjìng zhōng ，qízhōngde wàijiāo cílìng yǐnyòng le wúshù 《shījīng 》zhī yǔ 。
As an example, in the records of the 27th year of the reign of Duke Xiang of Lu in the Commentary of Zuo, to rescue Duke Xian of Wei from imprisonment by the Jin, Duke Jing of Qi and Duke Jian of Zheng led a delegation to Jin. In such particular diplomatic circumstances, the diplomatic rhetoric made innumerable references to poems in the Shijing.

由此可见，大夫们引用《诗经》都是十分客气委婉又恰如其分地表达了两位诸侯此行的目的。几轮交锋过后，晋侯始终未表态，但已有所动摇。

From this one can see that when the senior official quoted the Book of Songs it was an indirect and appropriate way of expressing the motive of the visit by the two dukes. After several confrontations, the Marquis of Jin didn't declare his position, but was swayed to some extent.
