—— ? Lu You's Queqiao Hua Xian Deng Zongbo
Queqiao Hua Xian Deng Zongbo
Lanterns are flying and carved saddles are shooting. Who remembers the heroic behavior of that year?
The drunkards are holding the title of Marquis one by one and fishing by the river alone.
The canoe is eight feet long and has three eaves and a low canopy, which is why it is rainy and foggy in Pingzhou.
Jinghuyuan belongs to idle people, so why give it to him?
-Lu you
The translation is as follows:
In those days, I was addicted to games under gorgeous lights, riding a fine horse to shoot and gallop. Who remembers my brave military life? Many of those boring drinkers now have official titles, and only I am willing to live in seclusion by the river as a fisherman.
There is an eight-foot canoe by the river. Holding three low awnings and enjoying the waterside scenery covered with apple grass alone, Jinghu originally belonged to a leisurely person like me. Why must it be "official"?
