Dragon & storm

Fifth Month Duanwu Dragon Boat Festival

In the past, to pay respect to Teacher Qu,
Today, we follow tradition: the dragon passing by.
Sing nine songs for the next generation,
Trace memories of the Good and Faithful by reading Cu poems.

One Year's Big Mid-Autumn Storm

Just at mid-autumn, surprised by severe winds and rain,
Miss seeing the jade mirror's full circle beauty and grace.
Pond water rises, flooding with muddy runoff,
Rooftop drains flow nonstop, refreshing the mossy steps.
Sweeping the flowers' shadows come to the window, 
Halting the bugs' noises beside the pillow.
Four seas, blurred and obscured, cannot distinguish our whereabouts.
We forget what season we're in tonight.

Sudongbuo wrote a poem that said: wishing you long life, so that even though a thousand miles apart, see the same moonlight.
