Dragon Boat Festival Poems

Ancient Poems for the Dragon Boat Festival

Bei Qiong (Yuan Dynasty)

The rain and wind of the Dragon Boat Festival are in the darkness of the sky, and there is no place in Miluo to hang up the spirits of the heroes.

The pomegranate blossoms should smile at each other, and Yuanming is awake alone without wine.

Translation

The weather was dark and gloomy at the Dragon Boat Festival, and there was no one on the Miluo River to pay tribute to the departed Qu Yuan.

The pomegranate blossoms that bloomed like fire seemed to be laughing at me, and Tao Yuanming, even if he didn't drink, admired Qu Yuan's outstanding sobriety.

The Dragon Boat Festival Poem 2, Dragon Boat Festival

Yin Yaofan [Tang Dynasty]

Young people are more sentimental on the festive day, and old people are not aware of the emotions.

It is not a custom to follow the custom of the Ai Fu, but to pray for a drink of wine and talk of peace and prosperity.

Sideburns are whitening day by day, and the durian brocade is illuminating the eyes every year.

This is the first time I've ever seen a person who has been a good person in a thousand years, and I've never seen a person who has been a good person in a thousand years.

Translation

When I was a young man, I always loved to have a lot of emotions during the festivals, but now that I am old, I don't want to be sentimental about it; I don't want to follow the custom of hanging moxa and exorcism charms, I just want to drink a cup of bushels of wine, and I want to talk about the world's peace and prosperity.

The gray hairs on the temples are increasing day by day, and the pomegranate flowers are like red brocade shooting eyes, which bloom year after year in response to the festival; in front of the years, both the sages and the fools are transient passers-by, and who knows how many of them will be lost in oblivion, and how many of them will be immortalized in the history of the world.

Su Shi [Song Dynasty]

Light sweat slightly through the blue lace, the Dragon Boat Festival in the Ming Dynasty to bathe in fragrant orchids. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it," he said.

The colorful threads are lightly wrapped around the red jade arms, and the small symbols are hung diagonally on the green cloudy hair. I've been seeing you for a thousand years.

Translation

Slightly sweaty and drenched in turquoise-colored silk, tomorrow's Dragon Boat Festival must be a bath of orchid soup. The participants are so crowded that the perfumed powder and rouge left over from the grooming flows into the river with the water and fills the surface of the river.

You gently wrap that colorful floral thread around your jade-colored arm, and the tiny talismanic seal hangs diagonally from your hair. You only prayed that you could live forever with the one you love and grow old together.

Ancient Poem for Dragon Boat Festival 4, Dragon Boat Festival

Li Longji [Tang Dynasty]

Duanwu is approaching the middle of summer, the time is clear and the day is long.

Salt and plums have been used in the cooking, and the wine has been passed on to the goblets.

The ancient people have left traces of their lives, and the years are deep and the wisps are long.

When the Hibiscus is in full bloom, the water is fragrant with the fragrance of the reed.

There are a lot of people who are looking for a way to make a living, and they are looking for a way to make a living.

Loyalty and chastity, as in the case of no replacement, will be the next Kunfang.

Translation

At the time of the Dragon Boat Festival, it was nearing the middle of summer, and the days were getting longer.

Salt and plums were already adding flavor to the tripods, and fine wine was being poured into the cups.

This is a custom that was left behind by the ancients and has been around for many years now.

Leaning against the railing, I realized that the hibiscus grows luxuriantly, and against the water, I realized that the rushes are really fragrant.

The people of the world will live happily for a long time, and all the ministers*** will keep the country prosperous.

If everyone's loyalty to the state is consistent, this virtue will surely be passed on to future generations as well.
