Text of Bai Juyi's poem 清明夜*: 好風朧月清明夜，碧砌紅軒刺史家。 獨繞迴廊行復歇，遙聽弦管暗看花。 Translation of poem: Good wind, hazy moon, Chingming night; Jasper brickwork, red studio, district magistrate’s house Circling the veranda alone, coming back to rest; hearing distant strings and woodwinds, viewing flowers in the dark. *Chingming Festival: 105 days after previous year's winter solstice—typically April 4 or 5. |
