The four lines of the ancient poem about Dragon Boat Festival for the first and second graders are as follows:

1. "Tongzhou Dragon Boat Festival"

Yinyao Fan (Tang Dynasty)

The crane's hair hangs down to his shoulders and is about a foot long. He left home on the 35th day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

The children were surprised when they saw it, but asked where their hometown was.

Translation: The white hair hangs down to a foot long on the shoulders, and it has been thirty-five Dragon Boat Festivals in a foreign land. The child was very happy and surprised to see it, but asked which direction is home?

2. "Forbidden Racing in Chuzhou at Noon"

Tang Xianzu [Ming Dynasty]

Written alone on the calamus and bamboo leaf cup, the first return of 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, and 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?

3. "Jiyou Dragon Boat Festival"

Bei Qiong [Yuan Dynasty]

The stormy Dragon Boat Festival brings darkness, and Miluo has nowhere to hang the heroic spirits.

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

Translation: The Dragon Boat Festival suddenly encountered wind and rain. The weather was gloomy and gloomy, and 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.

4. "He Dragon Boat Festival"

Zhang Lei [Song Dynasty]

Jidu is deeply saddened by thousands of years of injustice, but the loyal soul can be restored once it is gone.

What will happen now if the country is destroyed and the body is destroyed? Only Lisao is left in the world.

Translation: The dragon boat race is to mourn Qu Yuan’s soul that has been wronged for thousands of years, but the loyal soul will never return. What else is there now after Guo Po’s death? Only the eternal song of Li Sao is left in the world!

5. Clothes given on the Dragon Boat Festival

Du Fu [Tang Dynasty]

Palace clothes are also famous, and the Dragon Boat Festival is honored.

The fine kudzu is soft in the wind, and the fragrant flowers are light in the snow.

Since the sky is wet, it should be cleared by the heat.

The inner meaning refers to the long and short, and is filled with holy love for life.

Translation: During the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor bestowed precious palace clothes and showed great favor. The Xiang Luo Yi is spun from fine kudzu, so soft that it floats when the wind blows. Its pure white color is like fresh snow. Coming from the heaven, moistened by rain and dew, it is extremely cool to wear in the hot summer. The length of the palace robe is exactly what you want, and it will carry the emperor's hospitality throughout your life.
