Checkin No. 105
虎符缠臂，佳节又端午。门前艾蒲青翠，天淡纸鸢舞。
粽叶香飘十里，对酒携樽俎。
龙舟争渡，助威呐喊，凭吊祭江诵君赋。
感叹怀王昏聩，悲戚秦吞楚。
异客垂涕淫淫，鬓白知几许？
朝夕新亭对泣，泪竭陵阳处。
汨罗江渚，湘累已逝，惟有万千断肠句。

- Loonge: A tiger charm wraps my arm—lo, the festival returns! Before my door, mugwort and calamus stand green and tall, While paper kites dance in the pale, wide skies, As zongzi’s fragrance drifts ten miles on the breeze, And wine flows freely from cup and carved vessel. Now dragon boats cut the waves in fierce race, Cheers and shouts thunder—we chant odes by the river, To honor the drowned poet, our hearts in mourning. Ah, King Huai’s blindness! Grief stirs for Chu’s fall to Qin’s might— A wanderer weeps, his beard white as frost, How many years of exile has he known? Day and night, we mourn like those at Xin Pavilion, Tears spent, far from home in sunless Lingyang. Here, where the Miluo meets the sea, The Xiang River’s martyr sleeps—no more but ten thousands verses Of heartbreak, echoing through eternity.
