The oldest custom is to float eggs near the water

Place the hard-boiled eggs in the river water

Place the glass in the upper stream and let it flow downstream

Whoever stops in front of him takes a drink and rejoices with one another

"觞" is an ancient wine container, that is, a wine glass

It is usually made of wood, small and lightweight, with a support at the bottom and floats in the water

There are also pottery ones, with ears on both sides, also known as "feathers"

Because it is heavier than a wooden cup, it is placed on a lotus leaf when playing, so that it floats in the water

The so-called "Liuzhen", everyone sits at the edge of the winding water

Place the sakes on top of the flowing water and let them float down the river

Whoever stops in front of him will drink the wine from his cup

And give a poem, otherwise you will be fined three glasses of wine
