《詩經》是現存世界文學中最早的詩歌文本，其中有些詩作已有三千年之久。全球知名的海洋生物學家賈福相先生，閒暇時研讀詩經十餘年，悟出隱藏在詩經文字背後的生物密碼與天地自然律令，遂將國風一百六十篇反覆咀嚼，逐篇譯成白話中文和英文，於2008年出版了《詩經國風：英文白話新譯》。在北美各地推廣該書之餘，又繼續創作出《把詩還給詩經》這本雙語小書。最重要的目的，第一是跟讀者介紹並推廣詩經；第二是提供西方教中文、中國教英文的語言學校師生參考。
本書共收錄二十二篇短文和詩歌，書名出自第一篇散文〈把詩還給詩經〉，傳達作者翻譯經典的心得，以及對生物多樣和生態的看法。

Besides sharing literary appreciation with readers, this small, bilingual book has two other objectives: to reintroduce and to promote “The Airs of the States” from the Shi Jing; and to provide a reference for teachers and students in Western schools teaching Chinese and schools in China teaching English. The book includes other essays and poems the author has written during recent years, most of them are related to translations of the Shi Jing. Others express Dr Chia’s philosophy on biodiversity and human culture.
