Classical Chinese question. 古文。 Meaning of 起予？ I'm translating a classical Chinese text into English and the phrase "起予“ 让我头痛。 Please, help. 

This is the full classical text (from the Confucian analects) :

子夏問曰：「『巧笑倩兮， 美目盼兮， 素以為絢兮。』何謂也？ 子曰： 「繪事後素。」 曰： 「禮後乎？」 子曰： 「起予者商也，始可與言詩已矣。 」 

The best I can try to translate 起予 is for it to mean something along the lines of... starts to give....

谢谢
起 means "inspire", and 予 means "me". Literally: It's you, Shang (Zixia's given name), who inspired me.
