Young people are more sentimental on this festival, but who knows how emotional they will be when they grow old; do not follow the customs of Ai Fu , but pray for Pujiu and peace.

The hair on the temples grows whiter day by day, and the pomegranate brocade illuminates the eyes every year; thousands of years of virtue and foolishness are fleeting, and a few people are forgotten and few are famous. Translation

When I was young, I always had a lot of emotions during festive seasons.

Now that I am old, who has the time to feel a lot of emotions for no reason;

On the Dragon Boat Festival, I am too lazy to follow other people's habit of hanging mugwort and exorcism charms. I just hope that a cup of cattail wine will bring peace to the world.

The hair on the temples is becoming more silvery day by day.

The pomegranate flowers are shining like red brocade, blooming every year for the festival;

It is a sigh of relief in the years. In front of us, saints and fools are all transient passers-by.

Who knows how many of them have disappeared into oblivion and how many of them have gone down in history.

Visiting various temples during the Dragon Boat Festival, I got Zen characters 3. Yi Mao Chong Wu Poems

As the sun sets, I finish my work and smile at the cup and plate. Translation

The Dragon Boat Festival is here, and fiery red pomegranate flowers are blooming all over the mountain village. People ate rice dumplings with two horns, with mugwort stuck in their high crowns.

[Song Dynasty] Chen Yuyi

Gao Yongchu's poem "Repaying the Noon Day", the end of the world is in a hurry. The pomegranate flowers are not as red as the dancing skirt. No one knows this, and the wind fills the curtains after singing.

Everything hurts the old man, and Rong Kui smiles to the east of the wall. The depth of the wine glass is the same as last year. Tried pouring water under the bridge and arrived in central Hunan tonight. Translation

I spent the Dragon Boat Festival by reciting the Songs of Chu loudly. At this time, I am wandering far away in the world, just a passing guest. No matter how red the pomegranate flowers are in a foreign land, they are not as gorgeous as the dancing skirts and shirts of the dancers in the capital. No one can understand my feelings at this time. After the generous lament, only the wind moved and cooled my body. Everything is going on now, except for the old illness. The hollyhocks on the east wall seemed to be laughing at my desolation. The wine in the cup looked similar to previous years. I poured it into the river under the bridge, so that the river would carry it to the Xiangjiang River. 5. The Dragon Boat Festival

[Song Dynasty] Wu Wenying

The silk is tied around the wrist, the hairpin is hanging down from the skillful seal, and the jade is hidden in the gauze to sleep. The silver vase is exposed in the well, the colorful window is in the clouds, and the young man in the past keeps his promise. I wrote about the pomegranate skirt at that time, and the sad red gauze faded from the calyx.

In the millet dream time, Tingzhou is getting old and smoked.

Don’t sing the ancient tunes of the south of the Yangtze River. It’s hard to suppress resentment and the Chu River is in despair. Swallow's milk is smoked in the wind, plum blossoms are yellow in the dark rain, and the orchid curtain is bathed in the afternoon mirror. When thinking about Qinlou, it is also like a person returning home, so he should cut the calamus and take it into his own hands. But despair, a wisp of new toad, follows people everywhere. Translation

The lover's wrist is tied with five-color silk thread, and the mantra written in seal script is worn on the head to ward off evil spirits and diseases. She slept particularly soundly in the azure gauze tent. A banquet was arranged under the flowering trees in the courtyard, fans were waved in front of the windows, singing and drinking, and the beautiful scenery of the past was still vivid in our minds. At that time, I wrote words on her pomegranate skirt. Today, the pomegranates outside the window have withered. The joy of the past has passed. Time flies. The tender cattails on the sandbank are swaying in the wind, and the vastness is like a piece of blue smoke. Please stop singing the ancient songs of Jiangnan. , how can that sad and sad song comfort Qu Zi's deep injustice? The swallows have given birth to their young in the warm spring breeze, and the plums have gradually turned yellow and round in the continuous drizzle. The sun is blazing at noon, is the beauty also bathing in fragrant orchid in the curtain? I think she will definitely go back to the embroidery building, cut calamus and soak it in wine, drinking and feeling sorry for herself. In despair, I looked up at the sky and watched the crescent moon rising slowly. The light moonlight accompanied me to the horizon of this corner of the world. 8. Poems on the race/Afterwards, I watched the race in Jiangning and sent it to Yuanzhou, Cheng Yingyuan

[Tang Dynasty] Lu Zhao

Stayed in Shixi for a long time and thought about the Dragon Boat Festival, and watched the dragon boat race in front of the post building machine.

When the rhinoceros is beating, there is a faint thunder, and there is a slight snow on the top of the beast's head.

The people rushing to stand out from the waves rush together, and the birds leaping over the waves compete to be the first to retreat.

Xiang Dao was not convinced by Long Gang, and he indeed won the championship. Translation

After living in Shixi for a long time, I began to miss the scenes of the Dragon Boat Festival, watching the timing of action in front of the post building. The first strike of the drum sounded like thunder, the beast's head roared, thousands of people broke through and shouted in unison, and the jumping waves and birds rushed to get ahead. Many boats rushed forward like dragons, and sure enough they returned with the championship. 9. Xiaochong Mountain·Dragon Boat Festival

[Yuan Dynasty] Shu Di

Biai Cattail is busy everywhere. Whose family's sons and daughters celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival? Thinly wrapped five-color arm silk. Empty melancholy, who will pay tribute to Yuan Xiang again? Don’t talk about the past. Thousands of years of loyalty and loyalty, the sun shines brightly. I feel sad after reading "Li Sao". No one understands it, and the trees turn to shade at noon. Translation

Everywhere is busy picking mugwort and cattail grass. Whose young men and women are preparing to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival? Five-color ribbons wrapped around their arms sang and danced. I feel melancholy in my heart. Who else will commemorate Qu Yuan during the Dragon Boat Festival?

Don’t comment on the past. Qu Yuan’s loyalty and integrity can be compared with the sun and the moon. I always feel sad after reading "Li Sao". No one understands my mood, I can only enjoy the coolness under the shade of the trees. 10. Jiyou Dragon Boat Festival

Beiqiong? [Yuan Dynasty]

Wind and rain bring about dusk and darkness, and Miluo has nowhere to hang the heroes.

Pomegranate flowers and hair smile at each other, even if there is no wine, it is clear and awake alone. Translation

On the Dragon Boat Festival, there was a sudden storm and the weather was gloomy and gloomy. No one on the Miluo River paid homage to the deceased Qu Yuan.

The pomegranate flowers in full bloom seemed to be laughing at me. Even if Tao Yuanming didn't drink, he still admired Qu Yuan's extraordinary sobriety. 11. Huanxisha·Dragon Boat Festival

Su Shi? [Song Dynasty]

Light sweat slightly penetrates the green blue sky, bathing in fragrant orchids during the Dragon Boat Festival in the Ming Dynasty. The flowing fragrance fills Qingchuan.

A little sweat has soaked the blue silk. I must take a bath in orchid soup during the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow. There was a huge crowd of participants, and the powder and rouge left after washing flowed into the river and covered the surface of the river.

You gently wrapped the colorful flower thread around your jade-colored arm, and hung the small talisman seal diagonally on your bun. I just pray that I can be with the one I love forever and grow old together. 12. Three Dragon Boat Festival poems

Zhao Fan? [Song Dynasty]

It is said that if you give poems to Miluo, you are so happy now.

Have heard about the blessing wood layman, and try to wish Ai Ren success.

He died without using his loyal words, leaving behind the article star Douluo.

Why should I drink more wine in Changchang and sing a long song for you?

Every year the Dragon Boat Festival is windy and rainy, it seems that Qu Yuan has been wronged.

Who do I want to talk to about things? Translation

It is said that poetry is written to give to the Miluo River, but it is of no use as a source of happiness today.

I once heard that praying for happiness to wooden statues of gods, try to bless Ai people!

Obviously it was a piece of advice, but it was not adopted by the King of Chu. In the end, he sank into the river and died, but the articles he left behind are as immortal as the stars. Pour another glass of Changzha wine and sing for Qu Yuan!

It rains and winds every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, as if complaining about Qu Yuan’s grievances. I want to find someone to talk to about these concerns and go play with the doves that are only in the north and south of the house. 13. Dragon Boat Festival in Tongzhou

Yin Yao Fan? [Tang Dynasty]

The crane's hair hangs down to the shoulders for a long length, leaving home on the 35th Dragon Boat Festival.

The child was very happy and surprised to see it, but asked which direction was his hometown? 14. Nan Gezi·Traveling

Su Shi? [Song Dynasty]

The mountains and the singer's eyebrows are narrowed, and the waves are like drunken eyes. Tourists all go to the thirteenth floor. Don't envy Zhuxi's singing and ancient Yangzhou.

The wild millet grows in Lianchang, and the Qiongyi overturns the jade boat. Whose water tune is the first to sing? The sound flies around the green mountains and leaves the clouds in the evening. Translation

The mountain color is as green as the thick eyebrows of the singing girl, and the blue waves flow like a person's hazy drunken eyes. People love to climb to the thirteenth floor and no longer envy the ancient Yangzhou where Zhuxi sang.

Wild rice soft cake and calamus, jade pot pouring wine into jade cup. I don't know who sang a water-melody song. The song flew around the green mountains and the evening clouds held it back. 15. At noon, ferry racing is prohibited in Chuzhou

Tang Xianzu? [Ming Dynasty]

Written alone on the calamus and bamboo leaf cup, the first time I stepped on the grass in Pengcheng.

If you know your love and do not die in Oujiang River, why bother to bow down in the boat? Translation

I just came back from an outing in Liancheng. I only bought calamus and bamboo leaf green wine at home. I thought this would be enough to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. I know very well that Qu Yuan was not drowned in our Oujiang River, so why waste time and money on commemorating Qu Yuan with such a luxurious dragon boat race? 16. Watching the ferry race at noon

Bian Gong? [Ming Dynasty]

*** was shocked by the group of dragons on the upper reaches of the water, but they didn’t know it was a Mulan boat.

The cloud flags are hunting over the Qing and Han Dynasties, and the thunder and drums are noisy in the Yin Biliu.

The ghost of Qu Zi’s injustice is still there, and the customs of Chu country remain to this day.

Jiang Ting spends his spare time at high gatherings, drunk and sarcastic, unable to resolve his sorrows. Translation

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, people on the shore watched in horror as the dragons played on the water. They didn’t know that it turned out to be a boat decorated in the shape of a dragon, and the colorful flags on the boat were ringing in the sky. Flying, noisy gongs and drums, clear water. From ancient times to the present, Qu Yuan's ghost remains, and the customs of Chu State still exist. Leisure days are suitable for drinking and partying in Jiangting and reading "Li Sao", but I can't feel the sadness in it. 17. Moyu'er·Looking out at the rainy day at noon

Nalan Xingde? [Qing Dynasty]

The swollen mark is added, half a pole is soft green, and there are countless cattail leaves on the top. The pavilion is covered with smoke and the willows are dark, and a white bird is about to dance with a fish in its mouth. On Hongqiao Road, the Zhengyi sect and the Painting Boat Xiaoguzhong stream live. The vomiting is mute and soft, and the new lotus is brushed early. It suddenly turns along the embankment and breaks through the green rain.

Jianjiazhu, does not reduce the depth of Xiaoxiang. The sky is falling like mist, dripping into a piece of human tears, also like Miluo throwing a poem. It is difficult to express sorrow, only colorful threads and fragrant wild rice pulses will last forever. I am sad and can't say anything. I remember that day in the flag pavilion, the water was gone and the wine stopped the wind. Translation

The water has risen after the rain. The green water surface has risen to half a pole, and there are countless cattail leaves and cattail leaves. The pavilions and pavilions are misty, the willow branches are dark, and white birds are flying over and dancing with fish in their mouths. Outside the painted bridge, the road is long and quiet. Painting boats are sailing together, flutes and drums are playing, and they are lingering in the middle of the water. With the sound of gentle paddling, the boat had already passed by Xin He, and suddenly turned along the river bank, breaking through the rain that fell when Xin He was born.

Zhouzhu, which is full of reeds, is no less deep than Xiaoxiang. The rain fell one after another, misty and mist-like, just like the tears of a shark, and like a poem thrown into the river to pay homage to Qu Yuan. It is difficult to express sadness, but the custom of wrapping wild rice with colorful threads to commemorate Qu Yuan has been passed down through the ages. There was sadness and silence. I remember that day in the restaurant, after the water games were over and the crowd had dispersed, I drank until I was half drunk and walked into the wind. 18.

On Dragon Boat Festival, there were clothes and colorful knots in the dormitory of the Ministry of Rites, and I answered with poems

On a good day, five days will come, and we wish you a thousand years together. The colorful strands are concentric and beautiful, and the light train reflects the body.

Su Shi? [Song Dynasty]

The emperor left his post to his own devices and always stayed when he encountered victory.

Burn incense to invite quiet walks, drink tea and have a quiet banquet.

The light rain has stopped and returned, and the small window is quieter and brighter.

There is no sun in the basin mountain, and the vegetation is naturally green.

Suddenly I climbed to the highest tower, and my horizons were vast.

Bian Feng shines on the city wall and shakes the sky.

It is both joyful to be deep and happy, and convenient to be open and wide.

The clouds are not over yet, and the countryside is covered with late smoke.

What I have experienced in my return is very clear and sleepless.

The Taoist also stayed up and meditated all night with a solitary lamp. Translation

Take a small sedan and go as you please, and visit the scenic spots when you encounter them.

Burn incense, explore the secluded space in the temple, and taste fragrant tea and vegetarian food.

The drizzle comes and goes, making the quiet little window even more beautiful.

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, this place is like sitting in a basin. It is difficult to see the sun. The grass and trees grow naturally, and it is completely green.

Climb to the tallest tower in the temple and see the world.

The shadow of Bian Mountain is reflected on the city wall, and the misty waves of Taihu Lake are vast and the sky is endless.

Of course I like the depth and tranquility of Bian Mountain, and I also like the openness and magnanimity of Taihu Lake, which is filled with sky and sky.

The tour is not over yet, but smoke has already appeared in the village.

After returning, I wrote down today’s travels, feeling so worried that I couldn’t sleep.

Dao Qian was not sleepy either. He attended the night meditation with Gudeng Ancient Buddha.
