流觞元巳奚所因,更指三日为良辰。
山阴坐上皆豪逸,长安水边多丽人。
临流有许豪与丽,元无一个能知津。
韩婴何凭指溱洧,束晳胡据诬周秦。
千年混混同一波,竞言此日天气新。
其间号曰该洽者,或言鳦降祠高辛。
春分以后弗无子,往往援引诗生民。
说虽有稽义犹凿,况复除日经无文。
予尝妄意巳为火,季春火见疑乘寅。
寅居汉津火所畏,故以元巳祓水滨。
一年奇月必用重,三三欲解阳德屯。
较之前说已云近,终媿俚俗疵吾醇。
要须挈我沂泗上,回瓢点瑟看长春。

上巳节流觞曲水的习俗究竟因何而起?
又为何将三月三日指为良辰吉日?
山阴兰亭集会上的都是豪放飘逸之士,
长安水边则有许多美丽的游春女子。
临水之处有如此多的豪士与丽人,
却实在没有一人懂得真正的津渡(指事物的根本或关键)。
韩婴凭什幺指认溱水与洧水?
束皙有何依据诬指周朝与秦朝?
千年来混乱如同一波浑水,
竞相说这一日的天气清新。
其中号称博学通达的人,
有的说燕子降临祭祀高辛氏。
春分以后并非没有生子之事,
往往援引《诗经·生民》之诗。
说法虽有依据但意义牵强穿凿,
何况经典中并无关于此日的明文记载。
我曾妄加推测'巳'属火,
季春时节火星出现,怀疑它乘着寅位。
寅位对应汉水之津,是火所畏惧的,
所以在上巳日到水边举行祓除仪式。
一年中若有奇特的月份必须用重日,
三月初三想要化解阳德的困顿。
与之前的说法相比已算接近,
终究惭愧于俚俗之见玷污了我思想的醇正。
必须要带我回到沂水、泗水之上,
在回旋的瓢饮与弹瑟声中观赏长存的春色。
What is the reason for the Floating Cup on Shangsi Day?
Why further point to the third day as an auspicious time?
At the gathering in Shanyin, all were gallant and free,
By the waterside of Chang'an, many beauties did play.
By the flowing stream, there are so many gallant and fair,
Yet truly, not a single one knows the ford's way.
What basis had Han Ying to point out Zhen and Wei?
On what grounds did Shu Xi falsely accuse Zhou and Qin?
A thousand years, a turbid, undivided wave,
All compete to say the weather this day is new and brave.
Among them, those hailed as erudite and profound,
Some speak of swallows descending to sacrifice to Gao Xin.
After the Spring Equinox, it's not that there are no births,
Often they cite the poem 'Sheng Min' for their claims' worth.
Though the theory has some record, its meaning is forced and strained,
Moreover, the classics lack text about this day ordained.
I once rashly thought 'Si' corresponds to Fire's might,
Late Spring Fire appears, suspecting it rides on Yin's light.
Yin resides at Han's Ford, which Fire does fear,
Hence on Yuan-Si, by water's edge, we cleanse and clear.
In a year with an extraordinary month, double must be used,
Three times three seeks to resolve Yang's virtue, trapped and confused.
Compared to previous theories, this seems somewhat near,
Yet still I'm ashamed of vulgar flaws that my pure thought smear.
I must be led to the banks of Yi and Si,
To watch eternal spring with ladle and lute in bliss.
