万户千家悬艾蒲,
放鸢解粽赛龙舟。
汨罗江畔风萧瑟,
叹悼伊人为楚忧。

On the Dragon Boat Festival
Written by WEI Guangyan(Guilin, China)
Translated by WU Weixiong(Zhuhai, China)
Recited by HUANG Qinzhe(Guilin, China)
People’d hang mugwort and cattail of the herb grass①
Fly paper kites, eat Zongzi plus race Dragon boating②.
By the Miluo River the cold wind blows, trees rustling
As mourning QU Yuan, the patriotic poet of top class!

Notes:
1 Mugwort and calamus are both herbs, which can send out a unique aroma. On the Dragon Boat Festival people hang these herbs on the door has symbolic significance that folk believe that it can effectively drive away mosquitoes and exorcise evil spirits, and indicates the family health and a good luck in a year.
2 That on the Dragon Boat Festival Day people fly paper kite is to pray for the elimination of disaster. Eating zongzi(a kind of rice dumpling), racing dragon boat races and other customs is to commemorate the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan. In his later years, Qu Yuan, seeing the Chu State, his motherland, increasingly weak and about to be destroyed by the Qin State, could not display his ambition to serve his State. He was so worried as to throw himself into the Miluo River.
