Original Quyuan Pagoda

Chu people's sorrow for Qu Yuan has never stopped for thousands of years.

Where the soul floats, my father suffocates.

Today, on the Cangjiang River, I have put rice to quench my thirst.

Heritage becomes a race, lamenting the cracks in Chushan.

Qu Yuan, a strong man in ancient times, had a strong desire to die.

When secular Ann learned about it, she made a decision as soon as possible.

Nanbin used to belong to the State of Chu, and there is a pagoda on the mountain.

It should be a Buddhist, lest the son perish.

Although there is no basis for this matter, the meaning has been cut.

Immortal ancients, why compare exams.

Fame is endless, and wealth is also a temporary fever.

The doctor knew this, so he insisted on dying.
