“… In the middle of the sixth month so bright,
A beautiful cloud appeared in the sky’s light.
From the Water Palace, fine music arose,
For the Third Mistress of Water, the world now knows.Her mother beheld her, a vision so rare,
Just like the dream, her beauty beyond compare.
Her face like cherry blossoms in spring’s embrace,
A talented heroine, from the divine space.Despite her noble origins so grand,
She travels through landscapes, over sea and land.
At dawn’s first light and twilight’s last gleam,
She rows on the river, a sight like a dream…”– An excerpt from the court literature hymn to the Third Mistress of Water. Transcreated by Four Palaces – Tứ Phủ.
